Until 1969, the former Barendrecht Bridge over the Oude Maas River connected the island of IJsselmonde with the Hoeksche Waard. The old access road with two toll/bridge keeper's houses is still present. The houses were built in 1888 and are designated municipal monuments. One house is used as a radar station by the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat). The other house has been empty for years. Both houses were restored in 2011 and 2013.
