'''Hollands Diep''' is a wide river in the
Netherlands and an estuary of the
Rhine and
Meuse river. Through the
Scheldt-Rhine Canal it connects to the
Scheldt river.
The Bergse Maas river and the Nieuwe Merwede river join near
Lage Zwaluwe to form the
Hollands Diep. The
Dordtsche Kil connects to it at near
Moerdijk. Near
Numansdorp it splits into the
Haringvliet and the Volkerak. At this point there is the Hellegatsplein in the water, a
road traffic node, connecting to the
Hoeksche Waard island on the north by the
Haringvliet bridge, to the
Goeree-Overflakkee on the west by the
Hellegatsdam, and to the mainland on the southeast by the
Volkerak Sluices.
On the east side of the Hollands Diep the
Moerdijk bridges connect the
Dordrecht island on the north to the mainland on the south: a
road bridge, a railroad bridge; a second railroad bridge has recently been constructed for the
HSL.
