Zelzate is divided into two parts by the Ghent–Terneuzen Canal. There is a concrete drawbridge and a tunnel to connect the two sides. Zelzate is known for the nearby polluting industry, which makes it the village with the lowest air quality in the country.[3][4] Recently ArcelorMittal Ghent (Sidmar) made a major investment which resulted in an emission decrease of 90%.[citation needed]
