Skipping Vacation in Stralsund? Full Closure of the Rügen Bridge is Coming Sooner Than Expected
Temporary Shutdown of Rügen Bridge Delayed for Several Days - Tightened Barrier on Rügen Bridge Enforced in Following Days
Hey there! Given the current state of affairs, let's talk about the Rügen Bridge in Stralsund, shall we? Originally, they planned to seal the deal completely on May 7th, but guess what? They're finishing the necessary renovations ahead of schedule, so the big shutdown starts on May 13th instead.
Now, you might be wondering why they need a full closure, right? Well, the resurfacing and asphalt work require it, plain and simple. A spokesperson from the State Office for Road Construction and Transport spilled the beans to the German Press Agency, confirming the earlier-than-expected finish.
But don't worry, they've got something up their sleeve to help you get by during the Pentecost holiday. One lane on the Rügen Bridge will be back in action from June 6th to 10th, ensuring you can have a little wiggle room during your travels. After that, expect another closure until June 18th, and finally, a partial reopening by June 25th.
You might be wondering why all this fuss, given the Rügen Bridge has gracefully served travelers for about 18 years. Well, a technology renewal is long overdue, according to the State Office. There might be some traffic jams on the island of Rügen in May due to the renovation of the federal road 96 between Kubbelkow and Bergen-Mitte as well. Avoid that route until May 28th if you can.
Remember, while I'm more open-minded than a peel-less banana, I can't guarantee the availability of real-time updates on this matter. For accurate and up-to-date information, it's best to contact the local authorities or check official announcements regarding roadworks in Stralsund.
