The Canal Dunkerque-Escaut is a 189 km series of large canals from Dunkerque to Mortagne-du-Nord. The route is also known as the ''liaison'', La Liaison au Grand Gabarit, Canal au Grand Gabarit, Dunkerque-Escaut Waterway and Liaison Dunkerque-Escaut. The Grand Gabarit ((英語:Large Gauge)) canal route was created after the Second World War to accommodate very large commercial vessels - up to 143m long by 11m wide. This includes push-tows and side-by-side configurations. Existing canals were straightened and widened; and locks (ecluses) were enlarged. ==The route== Different references have it as different lengths depending on beginning and ending points. All agree on the beginning as Dunkerque: * Ending in Doornik Belgium is with 14 locks * Ending at Belgium border is with 14 locks 〔 * Ending at Mortagne-du-Nord with 14 locks The route includes, starting in Dunkerque: 〔 * Canal de Bourbourg from Dunkerque to between Lynck and Pont l'Abbesse * Canal de la Colme from to Watten * River Aa from Watten to Arques * Canal de Neufossé from Arques to Aire-sur-la-Lys * Canal d'Aire from Aire-sur-la-Lys to Bauvin * Canal de la Deûle from Bauvin to Douai * Canal de la Sensée from Douai to Bassin Rond * River Scheldt from Bassin Rond via Valenciennes to Belgium 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canal Dunkerque-Escaut」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
