Antwerp - Scheldt Embankment
|
|
To left and right respectively at the western end of Suikerrui, the Ernest van Dijckkaai and the Jordaenskaai separate the Old City from the Scheldt, forming a no-man's-land ripe for redevelopment and a challenge for the architects and planners of the "City on the River" project.
Antwerp's 100m/330ft-wide quays, built in the 19th C., extend along the river for 5.5km/3.5miles providing berthing for the largest seagoing ships.
