The Tees Barrage is a barrage across the River Tees just upriver of Blue House Point in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees in North East of England and is used to control the flow of the river, preventing flooding and the effects of tidal change. The Tees Barrage comprises a river barrage, road bridge, footbridge, barge lock,  and white water course. The waters above the barrage are permanently held at the level of an average high tide and are used for watersports such as canoeing, jet skiing, dragonboat racing and incorporates a 1 km rowing course.
The barrage is accessible by road only from Thornaby / Teesdale or the A66 /Teesside Park junction  as there is very limited road access to the north bank of the Tees.

It took four years to build and contains 650 tonnes of steel.

The Tees Barrage is as impressive a feat of engineering as the famous Transporter Bridge

There is also a fish ladder which allows fish to navigate the barrage.
The Tees Barrage and Teesside White Water Course are developments of the Teesside Development Corporation.
Construction took four years and involved diverting the river Tees from its course.

The barrage was opened on 22 April 1995 with an international competition on the white water course, and inaugurated on July 17 the same year by HRH the Duke of Edinburgh. In April 2001 ownership of the Tees Barrage and white water course was passed to British Waterways from its original owners English Partnerships
