Montech water slope

The Montech water slope; movable gate raised

The Montech water slope is a type of canal inclined plane built on the Canal de Garonne, in the commune of Montech, Tarn-et-Garonne, Southwest France. It is managed by the publicly owned Voies navigables de France and by-passes a series of five locks. The slope is used for larger vessels up to 40 metres in length, while smaller boats continue to use the locks.

The slope has been out of service since an engine failure in 2009, and was scheduled to reopen in the summer of 2020 but in 2023 was still not working.
