The
Amsterdam-Rhine Canal or
Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal is a
canal in the
Netherlands that was built to connect the port city of
Amsterdam to the main shipping artery of the
Rhine. Its course follows a generally southeasterly direction as it goes through the city of
Utrecht towards
Wijk bij Duurstede where it intersects the
Lek branch of the Rhine and then continues on to the
Waal river near
Tiel, with a branch, the
Lek Canal, to the Lek near
Nieuwegein.
