	Completed in 1910, this engineering system is comprised of three elements; a dam, a lock, and a bridge. The design employed a ~~Camere~~ style dam and, at 240 metres long, it is the largest dam of this type ever built. It is also considered to be the only one still in existence in the world. It continues to operate to this day, regulating the water level of the Red River. It also allows river traffic to operate between Winnipeg and points downstream, while providing a link for road traffic across the river.
