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.
