Kong Christian Bro: next opening time also online
The city bridge in Sønderborg, Denmark, opens irregularly; now there is a website that indicates the next possible passage

Until now, the next opening could only be seen on an electronic light board, and information was only sporadically available on the internet. The bridge does open every half hour, which is a waiting time that you can live with. However, the new service makes it easier to plan the passage, which should be of particular interest to crews who are moored in the marina and want to sail through the Alsensund. A simple website, which also loads quickly on smartphones, now lists the next opening times:
