Landing place Grave not deep enough for steamship Sinterklaas, Defense comes to the rescue

In Grave, a floating bridge will allow Sinterklaas to disembark despite shallow waters at the Loswal. The municipality sought assistance from the military to construct the bridge. Initially, drought was a concern affecting river levels, but the water in the Maas is now sufficient for docking. Safety checks on the dikes have confirmed their stability. The event will be broadcast from the home of Yvonne and Henk Nuijen, who agreed to convert part of their house into a studio, ensuring their grandchildren can still see the festivities.
