Bridges & Locks
Tired of waiting in line for an open bridge or lock? Port of Antwerp-Bruges makes the position of bridges and locks available through the Bridges & Locks Open Data API.
What is the Bridges & Locks Open Data API?
Using the API, you will receive information about the operation of the bridges and lock gates. Real-time information about whether the bridge or lock is functioning, whether the bridge is open or closed and which lock gates are open or closed, is provided through this API.
This API is free of charge.
