Eider Bridge Tönning closed: Derirandings are now set up!

An excited day in Schleswig-Holstein: On June 23, 2025, several important events are on the agenda. While the preparations for the Kiel Week are in full swing, an infrastructure project ensures diversions and a full closure of the Eider Bridge Tönning. All of this happens with a view to the care of the regional transport infrastructure.

Not much is made today, especially in Tönning, because the bridge is completely closed to maintenance work up to and including tomorrow, June 24, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. The ndr reports that the state company Road Construction and Transport Schleswig-Holstein (LBV.SH) exchanges the top lock of the flaps from 1972. Detours are clearly signposted during this time so that road users can navigate around the closure.

news from Kiel Week

The Kiel Week, an important maritime event, attracts numerous visitors again this year. The police take a positive balance at the weekend: despite 25 criminal ads, including 14 due to assault, this is a decline of two thirds compared to the previous year. Only 30 people landed due to aggressive behavior in police custody, according to the ndr . It is to be hoped that this trend will continue.

Holstein Kiel also takes the opportunity to start his football season. The first public training is coming up at the Gettorfer SC today, and a new jersey will be presented on June 25th. The anticipation for the coming season, which is scheduled to start with a friendly on June 28th, is noticeable.

traffic projects and environmental issues

In a completely different league, the necessary measures for transport and environmental protection policy in Schleswig-Holstein are available. The nabu emphasizes the fundamental decisions that have been made since 2017 to improve mobility in the region. The Paris climate protection agreement places high demands on the transport sector, and the question is whether Schleswig-Holstein can act as a pioneer in transport and environmental policy.

While bus and rail connections in rural areas urgently need to be improved, road construction remains dominant. The question remains whether the investments in road truck actually correspond to the regional need for action. Comprehensive operational efficiency in road traffic could help reduce CO2 emissions, which in 2014 already made 27.4 % of emissions in Schleswig-Holstein, according to the Nabu.

several accidents in the region

tragic news comes from Großniendorf, where a 45-year-old was seriously injured on June 22nd in an accident with a tree. The causes of the accident remain unclear at the moment. Similarly, a motorcycle ride in Itzehoe, which seriously injured a 24-year-old and was used in a rescue helicopter. There were also two seriously injured in Lutzhorn on the same day, the condition of a 27-year-old is critical. These incidents emphasize the urgency of traffic safety measures in the region.

There is only one thing to hope: stay on the streets and enjoy the festive atmosphere of the Kiel Week!
