Stral- 'n-Down: Avoidin' the Rügen Bridge Road Raspberry Jam, Starting Next Week
Rügen Bridge Shutdown Imminent in Few Days - Imminent Shutdown of Rügen Bridge Advances in Coming Days
Alright, here's the lowdown: from next Tuesday (13 May), the Rügen Bridge will be completely shut down, as announced by the State Office for Road Construction and Traffic. The initial shutdown is expected to last until 5 June, but the closure was originally planned to kick off on Wednesday (7 May).
Why the delay? Well, the chaps at the State Office wrapped up the first phase of renovations earlier than anticipated, and since a full closure isn't required for the initial stages, they're wasting no time. However, a complete closure is inevitable for the resurfacing and asphalt work.
Now, if you're hankerin' to cross the Rügen Bridge during Pentecost (6 to 10 June), don't flip your lid just yet! One lane will be temporarily opened up to spare you from a major traffic calamity. After affording you a brief reprieve, they'll flip the switch again, closing the bridge once more until the 18th. Work's expected to wrap up by 25 June.
Hold on tight, because there's more road chaos on the horizon: the renovation of federal road 96 between Kubbelkow and Bergen-Mitte might leave you hangin' on Rügen like a love-sick puppy until 28 May.
So, what's the low-down on this ol' Rügen Bridge? Well, after about 18 years of service, it's high time for a bit of an upgrade, according to the State Office. If you're seekin' alternative routes around this nonsense, hit up local news sources or official transportation websites-they're your best bet for up-to-date road closure info and detour options.
