As part of Sund & Bælt’s, the platform, made from modular 40ft shipping containers, gives visitors a view of the job site near Puttgarden from a height of 6m and it intends to inform people about the construction of the world’s longest immersed tunnel.
The development of this view on clear days extends to the tunnel element factory at Rødbyhavn on the Danish side. While explaining the construction of the tunnel, is up to information boards and films, two pairs of binoculars provide a better view. The platform is powered by a photovoltaic system.
According to Lars Friis Cornett, director of Femern A/S in Germany: “With the new viewing platform, we are creating a great opportunity to experience the construction work on the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel up close without entering the construction site.It complements our existing Infocentre in Burg on Fehmarn, which will continue to be the primary hub for comprehensive information about the project. We are delighted to be able to offer people even more insight into the construction of the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel with this new attraction.”
Following the opening process of a 217m-long structure in Demark in March, this platform, known as Pilen, or the Arrow, was built at the German construction site and gives visitors a 24m-high vantage point over the site at Rødbyhavn.
