Scheldt–Rhine Canal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Scheldt–Rhine Canal (Schelde-Rijn Kanaal) in Belgium and the Netherlands connects Antwerp with the Volkerak, and thereby the Scheldt with the Rhine. The Scheldt-Rhine canal includes the Eendracht.

It crosses the east of Zuid-Beveland, where it is crossed by a railroad bridge (between the stations Rilland-Bath on the west and Bergen op Zoom on the east) and three road bridges, and along Tholen, where it is spanned by three road bridges.
