Summary[edit]

Description 'Coupure' under the Bovenkerkerweg in the 'sleeper dike' of the river Amstel in Amstelveen, the Netherlands. Coupures are traverses through dikes for traffic or other nesessary passages that are closed in case of emergencies. A sleeper dike is a secondary dike to contain flooding when the primary dike fails. This coupure was made for the extension of lightrail line 51 from station Poortwachter to station Westwijk in Amstelveen. Steel flaps are normally held in a horizontal position but can be lowered to close the traverse. Picture used on nl:Coupure (waterbouwkunde).
