The Brouwersdam is the seventh structure of the Delta Works in the Netherlands, forming a barrier across the former estuary known as the Brouwershavense Gat.
Construction of the Brouwersdam was begun immediately after the Gavelingendam was completed in order to shorten the period of higher flood.
From the cableway, large blocks of concrete were dropped in the trench, on top of which sand was sprayed.
Following the completion of the Gravelingen the fall in water level exposed about 3,000 hectares of dry land.
On June 1, 1978, the Brouwerssluis, an inlet sluice, was installed in the dam, allowing water in from the sea.
The Rijdend Tram Museum Foundation operates a route from Ouddorp (Punt de Goeree), via Port Zélande, to Scharendijke using historic stock from the Rotterdamse Tramweg Maatschappijt.
