Delay in Full Closure of Rügen Bridge, Set for Next Week instead of This Week
Hey there! Got some news courtesy of the State Office for Road Construction and Traffic. The Rügen Bridge, that colossal structure connecting the mainland to our favorite island paradise, will only fully shut down as of next Tuesday, starting the 13th of May. Initial closure is expected to last until June 5th, with the original plan involving a full closure starting on the 7th.
Ah, progress! Apparently, the work needed for the next phase of renovations is to be completed ahead of schedule. A representative from the State Office told the German Press Agency that they finished earlier than anticipated, but alas, the resurfacing and asphalt work calls for a good ol' fashioned full closure.
But fret not, dear travelers! The Rügen Bridge will see some action during the Pentecost weekend, opening one lane between the 6th and 10th of June. After that, it'll close again until the 18th, and then partially reopen. The folks at the State Office are expecting to wrap things up by the 25th of June.
Now, remember that the Rügen Bridge's been in service for about 18 years, so it's due for an upgrade, as per the State Office. In May, the island of Rügen may experience a tad more traffic congestion, owing to renovation work on the federal road 96 between Kubbelkow and Bergen-Mitte. That route'll be a no-go until May 28th.
But here's the kicker: there's no specific information available about the Rügen Bridge or a full closure in May 2023 or details about alternative routes during such a closure. Consult official German transportation websites or contact local authorities for up-to-date and precise details. As the research stands, no information has been found about alternative routes specifically for the May 2023 renovation closure.
- Despite the initial plan for a full closure of the Rügen Bridge on the 7th of May, the closure has been delayed to the 13th due to completion of work ahead of schedule.
- The full closure of the Rügen Bridge is part of the next phase of renovations, necessitating a complete shutdown for the improvement of the colossal structure.
- During the renovation, the Rügen Bridge will see partial reopening during the Pentecost weekend, opening one lane between the 6th and 10th of June, followed by another closure until the 18th.
- The state office anticipates completing the renovation work on the Rügen Bridge by the 25th of June.
- To alleviate potential traffic congestion during the renovation work in May, travelers may want to consider alternative routes, but as of now, specific details about alternative routes for the May 2023 renovation closure have not been found.
