[image]The Oosterschelde (Eastern Scheldt) is an Estuary in Zeeland, the Netherlands, between Schouwen-Duiveland and Tholen on the north and Noord-Beveland and Zuid-Beveland on the south. In Roman times it was the major Scheldt mouth, but the Kreekrak Strait, its connection to the Scheldt River, silted up and became unnavigable; eventually, it was closed off with a railway Dam in 1903, connecting in the process the Island of Zuid-Beveland to the Mainland of North Brabant.
Between Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland there are two road connections, the Oosterscheldedam on the west and the Zeeland Bridge on the east.
