Oesterdam
Highlight (Segment) • Structure
The dam was constructed together with the Markiezaatskade, the Philipsdam and the Volkerakdam to divide the Zeeland and South Holland waters into compartments for freshwater management and shipping. The construction of the Oesterdam contributed to the creation of the Zoommeer and a tideless Scheldt-Rhine connection.
The construction of the Oesterdam started in 1979 with the construction of a work island. This island was finished in 1980. The Oesterdam was then constructed in stages. The dam was completed in 1986. When the road (N659) was also built over the dam in 1989, the new connection was officially opened by the Queen's Commissioner.
The Bergse Diepsluis, at the northern end of the dam, was built on the remains of the drowned city of Reimerswaal. That is why an information point was opened at the Bergse Diepsluis in July 2022 about the approximately 250 drowned villages in Zeeland.
