Wide Angle Wednesday ... Barrier ...

Krimpen aan den IJssel (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkrɪmpə(n) aːn dɛn ˈɛi̯səɫ]) is a town and municipality in the west of the Lowlands near the sea, in the province of South Holland.


During the North Sea flood of 1953, the tidal barrier in the river IJssel proved to be inadequate. So in 1954 construction started on a new storm surge barrier, the first installation of the Delta Works. In 1958 it was completed together with the Algera Bridge which connects Krimpen with Capelle aan den IJssel.
