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[citation needed]. Recently, Sidmar (one of the Arcelor's plants) made a major investment which resulted in an emission decrease of 90%.

The town is twinned with:
