Interesting facts about the dam:
The Philipsdam is part of the Delta Works. It separates the Krammer and Volkerak waterways from the Oosterschelde and runs between the Grevelingendam and the Sint-Philipsland.
In 1976, construction began on a work island on the Plaat van Vliet. After that, the Krammer locks were built for inland shipping.
These were completed in 1983 and opened to traffic on February 2, 1987, after the dyke construction work was completed. In 1994, another lock was built for recreational shipping.
