Description

El Canal Gant-Terneuzen de Gant a l'Escalda occidental a Terneuzen és un canal de Bèlgica i dels Països Baixos. Té una llargada de 32 km dels quals 17,875 km són al territori belga.El 1823, el rei Guillem I va decidir de modernitzar el Sassevaart ensorrat i d'allargar-lo fins a Terneuzen per a donar una sortida al mar via l'estuari de l'Escalda més curta que el retorn per Anvers.Els dipòsits al·luvials van fer que els marges del riu Escalda van desplaçar-se més al nord i que la ciutat de Sas van Gent va trobar-se terra endins. Per a excavar aquest canal nou van utilitzar una part el llit del canal històric, aprofitar de les cales del Braakman, del Sassegat i del Axelsche Gat i dels prats salats. Dues noves rescloses van construir-se a Terneuzen. El governador de Flandes Oriental, Pieter van Doorn va inaugurar el canal el 18 de novembre 1827. A l'obertura, el canal tenia una profunditat de 4,5 m de l'Escalda fins a Sas van Gent i de 2,5 metres enllà de Sas fins a Gant.
