The construction site in Lindaunis was closed to shipping throughout the winter, but yachts will now be able to pass through again from 28 March. In Kappeln it will be closed from 18 March

It took Deutsche Bahn longer than planned to build the temporary bridge in Lindaunis, which was supposed to be finished last summer, but now the interim solution for pedestrians and cyclists is almost ready, as the railway announced in a newsletter. From 2.30 pm on 28 March, the bridge will open again regularly for the first time since the complete closure last autumn: there will be six openings for 20 minutes each at 10.30 am, 11.30 am, 12.30 pm, 2.30 pm, 3.30 pm and 4.30 pm. However, construction work on the final bridge continues and will take quite some time. If you want to stay up to date, you can visit the Railway website subscribe to the construction site newsletter.

Almost at the same time, a longer closure for the bridge near Kappeln was published in the "Nachrichten für Seefahrer" (NfS). Work is once again being carried out on the defective locks, which were already replaced on one side last year. The closure will take place at the following times:

  • 18.03.2024 from 09:00 to 16:00
  • 19.03.2024 from 08:00 to 16:00
  • 20.03.2024 from 08:00 to 16:00
  • 20.03.2024, 18:00 h, until 21.03.2024, 06:00 h
  • 21.03.2024 from 08:00 to 16:00

Crews planning their crossing from winter storage to the berth in March must therefore be prepared for the two bottlenecks.
