EUROPE’S WILDEST HIGHWAY? Estonia Opens 20km Road Over the Frozen Baltic Sea | Times Now World

Описание: Authorities in Estonia have officially opened a 17-kilometer "ice road" across the frozen Baltic Sea, providing a critical winter lifeline between the islands of Hiiumaa and Saaremaa. The seasonal highway, managed by contractor Verston Eesti, serves as a vital alternative to ferry services currently hampered by low sea levels and thick ice. To ensure safety on the 24-centimeter-thick route, drivers must adhere to strict protocols, including a ban on seatbelts to allow for emergency exits and a mandatory "speed gap" between 20 and 40 kph to prevent destructive ice vibrations. Local officials noted the road’s cultural significance and its return after an eight-year hiatus caused by warming winters.
