Amsteldiepdijk

Amsteldiepdijk is a dike between Van Ewijcksluis and the island of Wieringen.

The government decided that it was the fault of the contractor, and ultimately he had to pay damages to the state.

Prime contractors joined forces in a consortium, the Society for the implementation of work of the Zuiderzee.

It remained to build the large dam in the south to close the polder Wieringermeer.
