As part of the construction work for the replacement of the road bridge over the Zingster Strom between Bresewitz and Timmort, preparatory work has begun for the construction of a temporary bridge in the area of the pontoon bridge, according to the Stralsund Waterways and Shipping Authority in a current Notice to mariners with. Shipping is requested to take particular care when passing the construction site.

The new construction is part of a comprehensive measure to reactivate the railway connection between Barth via Zingst to Prerow. The so-called Darßbahn is intended to relieve the often overcrowded road connections between the mainland and Fischland-Darß-Zingst during the holiday season.

So far, the bridge has opened for shipping at 9.30 am and 6.30 pm during the season. It is not yet known whether there will be any closures during the construction work.

Christian Tiedt was born in Hamburg in 1975, but grew up in the northern suburbs of the city - except for numerous visits to the harbor, North Sea and Baltic Sea, but without direct access to water sports for a long time. His first adventures then took place on dry land: With the classics from Chichester, Slocum and Co. After completing his vocational training, his studies finally gave him the opportunity (in terms of time) to get active on the water - and to obtain the relevant licenses. First with cruising and then, when he joined BOOTE in 2004, with motorboats of all kinds. In the meantime, Christian has been able to get to know almost all of Europe (and some more distant destinations) on his own keel and prefers to share his adventures and experiences as head of the travel department for YACHT and BOOTE in cruise reports.
