Inland waterways – works
Pays for upgrading or building locks, weirs, dams and other inland-waterway infrastructure on the TEN-T core network, from a EUR 350 million General-envelope pot.
Despite sharing an identical headline figure with the sibling Rail Works topic under the same call, this Inland Waterways topic has its own separate funding line for its own EUR 350 million, not a pot split between the two -- each topic identifier carries its own figure in the Portal's own funding table, the same way every other topic on this call does.

This call funds physical works on inland waterways: upgrading existing waterways, locks, weirs and dams to improve navigation conditions and vessel capacity, and building new waterways, locks, weirs, dams or bridges where needed. It sits under CEF Transport's 'General envelope' for Core Network projects, alongside a separate Rail works topic.
