Dates: Update: Bridge closures in Kappeln and SønderborgPhoto: YACHT/F. Gunkel
The Kong Christian Bro in Sønderborg: The bottleneck between Alsen and Jutland will not open between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. on 12 September
Repairs continue to be carried out on the Schlei on other fixed dates in October and November, and in Sønderborg a fun run slows down the sailors on 12 September

Sailors who want to sail on the Schlei and in the Little Belt or Alsensund should mark these dates in their diaries. The Schlei is once again closed from Kappeln. The bascule bridge is still being repaired and cannot be opened. The closures will take place on:

Tuesday, 12 October 2021 to Thursday, 14 October 2021; Tuesday, 19 October 2021 to Thursday, 21 October 2021; Tuesday, 26 October 2021 to Thursday, 28 October 2021; Tuesday, 2 November 2021 to Thursday, 4 November 2021. The good news is that the closures will take place from 10 p.m. to 5.30 a.m. in each case. The Baltic Sea Waterways and Shipping Authority points out that "adverse circumstances may make it necessary to change the dates at short notice".

In addition, the bascule bridge in Kappeln will be completely closed during the two calendar weeks 45 and 46, i.e. from 8 to 21 November.

On 12 September, Kong Christian Bro will not be open between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. because it is part of the route during the "Royal Run" fun run in Sønderborg. The bridge connects Alsen and Jutland and spans an important bottleneck in the western Baltic Sea.
