Houtribdijk

The Houtribdijk is a dam in the Netherlands, built between 1963 and 1976 as part of the Zuiderzee Works, which connects the cities of Lelystad and Enkhuizen.

The 26-kilometer-long dike was intended for the Markerwaard, but the construction of this polder was abandoned in 2003 due to environmental concerns.

Marine traffic can cross the dike at either the locks or the naviduct at Enkhuizen.

[citation needed] About halfway along the dike there is Trintelhaven [nl],[3] an emergency harbor.

Trintelhaven is also the site of a restaurant and an AM broadcasting station, which used to operate on 1395 kHz with 20 kW.
