Knarhaven

In the summer of 1950, contractors commissioned by the Dienst der Zuiderzeewerken started building the ring dyke of Eastern Flevoland.

Long ring dyke

The ring dyke of Eastern Flevoland is about 90 kilometres long. The ring dyke was constructed in separate sections, called dyke sections or plots. Each plot was about seven kilometres long. The plots were built towards each other so that the dike finally closed completely. The last hole was closed on 13 September 1956, after some 75 million cubic metres of soil had been worked into the long ring dyke.
