Grevelingendam, Compartmentation dam between Schouwen-Duiveland and Goeree-Overflakkee islands, Netherlands
The Grevelingendam extends for 6 kilometers across the water, featuring navigation locks at its southern end near Bruinisse and a control lock connected to Eastern Scheldt.
Construction of this Delta Works component started in 1958 and concluded in 1965, responding to the devastating North Sea flood of 1953 that affected the Netherlands.
The monument of the cable car anchor block stands as a testament to Dutch engineering methods, marking a milestone in water management infrastructure.
The N59 motorway runs along the dam's length, connecting the islands of Schouwen-Duiveland and Goeree-Overflakkee while providing essential transportation routes in the region.
Engineers utilized a cable car system to gradually close the northern channel during construction, implementing precise management of building conditions in tidal waters.
