Rethink Your Travel Plans, Rügen Bridge to Remain Closed for a Bit Longer
Delay in the Shutdown of Rügen Bridge set for a few days ahead - Restriction of Access on Rügen Bridge Imposed Soon
Hey there! Here's what's happening with the Rügen Bridge situation. Buckle up, it's about to get bumpy.
Unfortunately, due to some unexpected speediness in earlier phases of renovation, the much-anticipated full closure of the Rügen Bridge will now commence a tad later than anticipated—kicking off on the 13th of May instead of the 7th. Your dreams of a traffic-free journey across the stunning Stralsund waters will have to wait a few extra days. The State Office for Road Construction and Traffic has announced the initial closure period, which will last until the 5th of June.
While we're on the topic of calendar changes, the good news is, the bridge will be reopened for a short while during Pentecost (between the 6th and 10th of June). Just enough time for you to squeeze in that necessary island getaway. After that brief respite, the bridge will once again close, to reopen only on the 18th of June, and remain partially operational until the 25th of June. Hang in there, road warriors!
As for the history of our dear Rügen Bridge, it's been catching some well-deserved rest since it was first erected around 18 years ago. The State Office believes that a technology update is long overdue, and therefore, a series of renovations are underway to keep our bridge in tip-top shape.
Now, let's address the elephant in the room. Is there a chance you might want to reconsider your travel plans, what with some potential snafus on the horizon? May just might be a headache of traffic congestion for the island of Rügen, as the renovation of the federal road 96 between Kubbelkow and Bergen-Mitte could lead to some gridlock. Don't worry—they've been road-closed since the 10th of May, but we're expecting them to reopen on the 28th. You know what they say, every ending is a new beginning.
Want the most reliable and up-to-date scoop on the Rügen Bridge's closure and reopening schedule? Your best bet is to quickly scour local news sources or crack open a cold brew and browse official transport authority announcements. Because, as they say, knowledge is power!
Stay tuned for more updates, fellow travelers. Safe roads to you all!
