IJsselmonde is a former village in the Dutch province of South Holland. It was located to the east of the city of Rotterdam. The village ("IJssel mouth") derives its name from the river Hollandsche IJssel, which flows into the Nieuwe Maas opposite from the village. The village gives its name to the large island it's on, IJsselmonde. IJsselmonde was a separate municipality until 1941, when it merged with Rotterdam. In the area of the municipality, a large residential area was built, which is now the IJsselmonde borough of Rotterdam.

The Van Brienenoord Bridge (Dutch: Van Brienenoordbrug) is a large twin tied-arch motorway bridge in the Netherlands. Located at the east side of Rotterdam, it crosses the New Meuse (Nieuwe Maas), a major distributary of the river Rhine. The bridge actually consists of two separate, parallel, and (visually) almost identical arch-bridges, as well as a set of three parallel bascule bridges on the north end. The bridge carries 12 lanes of traffic of the A16 motorway, the busiest highway in the Netherlands. Additionally, on the outside of the east arch, a two-way segregated cycling bridge has been mounted. Including lead-up ramps, the Van Brienenoord Bridge is 1320 metres long and vessels with up to 24 metres air draft can pass under the closed bridge. With a span of 300 m, the west arch is the longest span road bridge in the Netherlands. Traffic exceeds 235,000 vehicles crossing the bridge daily, using four 3-lane carriageways, in an express versus local / distributor arrangement.

The Stormvloedkering Hollandse IJssel (English: Hollandse IJssel Storm Surge Barrier), Hollandse IJsselkering (Hollandse IJssel Barrier) or Algerakering (Algera Barrier) is a storm surge barrier located on the Hollandse IJssel, at the municipal boundary of Capelle aan den IJssel and Krimpen aan den IJssel, east of Rotterdam in The Netherlands. The construction of the works comprised the first project of the Delta Works, undertaken in response to the disastrous effects of the North Sea flood of 1953. Prior to 1954, the spelling Hollandsche was used in the official name. The Hollandse IJssel is a low-lying river, and during the 1953 flood, the river dikes were exposed to dangerously high water levels, placing around 1.5 million people in the Randstad at risk from flooding. A dike at Ouderkerk aan den IJssel failed, and a dike in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel was almost breached, being sealed only after the local mayor ordered sailor Arie Evegroen to navigate his barge Twee Gebroeders into the hole which had been formed in it. The body in charge of the Delta Works, the Deltacommissie, therefore prioritised the construction of a storm surge barrier, and in January 1954, less than a year after the flood, dredging works were undertaken to start the project.On May 6, 1958, the first sluice gate was lowered as a test, with the storm surge barrier made operational on 22 October 1958. The barrier is often referred to colloquially as the Algerakering, but has never been officially known by that name. The name arises as the adjacent bridge carrying the N210 road is officially named the Algerabrug (Algera Bridge), after Jacob Algera, who resigned as Minister of Transport and Water Management for health reasons on 10 October 1958, only twelve days before the opening of the project. The architect was J.A.G. van der Steur Jr., and the project was designed by the Deltadienst department of Rijkswaterstaat, with H.G. Kroon as construction engineer.The barrier is classified as a Rijksmonument. The four towers of the barrier are lit to act as aids to navigation, with blue lighting indicating an open barrier and red lighting indicating that the barrier is closed.
