Amsterdam Rhine Canal - Amsterdam Rhine Canal (English spelling) Amsterdam‐Rijn‐Kanaal
This 72 km long canal runs from the port of Amsterdam in the Netherlands through Utrecht and into the Rhine (Waal) near Tiel, and was completed in 1952. This canal, which had connected small rivers and waterways since the 17th century, was first partially canalized in 1822, and was finally fully opened after renovations from 1881 to 1995, making it one of Europe's important inland waterways. As the volume of traffic subsequently increased rapidly, a new waterway was planned in 1932, but construction was halted due to World War II.

オランダのアムステルダム港からユトレヒトを経てティール付近でライン川(ワール川)に入る全長72kmの運河で,1952年に完成した。17世紀以来,小さな川や水路をつないでいたこの連絡路は,1822年に初めて一部運河化され,81‐95年の改修によって,ようやく全通して,ヨーロッパの重要な内陸水路の一つとなった。その後,輸送量が急速に増大したため,1932年に新水路が計画されたが,第2次大戦のため工事は中断された。
