The Spui is a small tidal river in South Holland in the Netherlands,[1] connecting the river Oude Maas and the Haringvliet estuary, separating the islands of Voorne-Putten and Hoeksche Waard. Historically, it forked off the Oude Maas at the town of Oud-Beijerland to end in the Haringvliet, but as a (planned) result from the Delta Works, its flow has been reversed.[citation needed] The Spui emerged as a result of a levee breach during the All Saints' Flood of 1532,[1] a storm surge that permanently altered the surrounding landscape.

There are no bridges or tunnels crossing the Spui,[1] but there is a car ferry from Hekelingen (municipality Nissewaard) to Nieuw-Beijerland (municipality Hoeksche Waard), and a pedestrian and bicycle ferry between Oud-Beijerland and Rhoon (in Albrandswaard).[citation needed]
