IJsselmonde is a river island in the Dutch province of South Holland in the Rhine-Maas Delta between Nieuwe Maas , Noord and Oude Maas .
A large part of the north of the island is taken up by the port of the city of Rotterdam and the residential areas of Rotterdam-South. This also includes the formerly independent village of IJsselmonde . The island used to be a rich agricultural region; today it is mainly dormitory towns like Albrandswaard , Barendrecht , Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht , Ridderkerk and Zwijndrecht , in addition to the metropolis , only the central south has retained some of its rural character. The Zwijndrechtse Waard (Waard ≈ Werder ), on which Zwijndrecht lies, was originally an independent river island, separated from IJsselmonde by the western section of the Waal . After the two ends of the Waal have been closed, it is now considered part of IJsselmonde.
IJsselmonde is crossed in the east from north to south by the high-speed line HSL Zuid ( high-speed line Schiphol – Antwerp ). It crosses here with the Betuweroute from the port of Rotterdam to Zevenaar .
