The underpass allows pedestrians and cyclists to safely pass under the Elbe Lateral Canal without having to use the large bridge structures, which are often far away or uncomfortable for cyclists. The underpass is often described as "elaborate" or "special" because it leads directly under the massive trough of the Elbe Lateral Canal. Since the canal is artificially elevated (embankment section), the underpass lies significantly deeper than the water level of the canal.

The lock is located at kilometer 0.79 of the Elbe-Seitenkanal (shortly behind the village of Calberlah/Wasbüttel). Since the canal runs above ground level in many sections (on artificially built-up embankments), there is a risk that huge amounts of water could flood the surrounding area in the event of an embankment breach.

The Sülfeld lock group in the Wolfsburg district of Sülfeld is an impressive example of German engineering and a central hub on the Mittelland Canal (kilometer 237). It connects the higher-lying "summit level" with the "eastern level" in the direction of the Elbe. The original south chamber was dilapidated and too narrow for modern ships. It was demolished and replaced by a new construction, which was opened in 2008 after four years of construction.

The Barnbruch is an extensive low moor area and part of the moist Aller lowlands. The Allerkanal was artificially created to drain the surrounding areas and regulate the flood protection of the Aller. The bridge connects the often impassable, moist meadows and bog forests with each other.
