Sluis 't Hemeltje is a lock between the Hilversums Kanaal and the Vecht. The lock is located directly south of Overmeer, but is owned by the municipality of Hilversum.
By the 1980s, the lock was outdated and in poor condition. The sand ships from Het Wijde Blik to the Vecht had damaged the lock. Furthermore, only ships up to 600 tons could be gunned, but these were not very profitable. The costs of recovery did not outweigh the benefits. In 1987, the province built a new road bridge next to the old one over the lock.
