Overview

  • The Rügenbrücke is now fully closed for milling and asphalt works, with this phase lasting until June 5.
  • To accommodate Pentecost travel, one lane will reopen from June 6 to June 10 before another full closure from June 11 to June 18.
  • The bridge, a critical link to Rügen, requires technical upgrades as part of its standard 18-year maintenance cycle.
  • Concurrent roadworks on the nearby Bundesstraße 96, closed between Kubbelkow and Bergen-Mitte until May 28, are adding to regional traffic challenges.
  • Authorities aim to minimize disruption by coordinating phased closures and partial reopenings, with all works expected to conclude by June 25.
