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.Template:Cn The Spui emerged as a result of a levee breach during the Template:Ill,<ref name="RWS"/> a storm surge that permanently altered the surrounding landscape.
There are no bridges or tunnels crossing the Spui,<ref name="RWS"/> 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).Template:Cn
