Lagan Weir (Belfast)

United Kingdom / Northern Ireland / Belfast
 dam, weir, bridge
The Lagan Weir, completed in 1994, is located across the Lagan between the Queen Elizabeth Bridge and the M3 bridge.The weir is a series of massive steel barriers which are raised as the tide retreats to keep the river at an artificially constant level. This improvement to the sewerage system combined with massive dredging of the river by mechanical excavators, and installation of an underwater aeration system, has led to a marked improvement in water quality and the environment around the river.
