Breezanddijk

Breezanddijk is a small community that lies near the midpoint of the Afsluitdijk in the Netherlands. There are about 40-50 buildings, most of which are bunkhouses that were built for the workers employed during the construction of the Afsluitdijk [http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&u=http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breezand_(werkeiland)&prev=/search%3Fq%3DBreezanddijk%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG] .

Today, it has a population of four and its solitary commercial establishment is a Texaco gas station for travelers upon the dike.
