Modular Viewing Platform Opens at Puttgarden to Showcase Fehmarnbelt Tunnel Construction Live

(IN BRIEF) Sund & Bælt has unveiled a new information point beside the Puttgarden site of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel project, built from repurposed shipping containers and featuring a six‑metre‑high terrace for unobstructed observation of the construction. Equipped with binoculars, interpretive panels and a film screen, and powered by solar energy, the facility is open 24/7 at no cost, with ample parking and stair access to the terrace. Director Lars Friis Cornett notes that this installation enhances their existing Infocentre in Burg on Fehmarn by offering an on‑site viewing experience. In Denmark, the 217‑metre “Pilen” platform has been welcoming visitors since March 2025, and the nearby Rødbyhavn exhibition provides interactive insights into tunnel construction.

(PRESS RELEASE) COPENHAGEN, 18-Jul-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — A new modular information point constructed from 40‑foot shipping containers now sits adjacent to the Puttgarden construction site for the Fehmarnbelt tunnel, complete with a six‑metre‑high terrace offering visitors an unparalleled vantage of the ongoing works. Designed to complement Sund & Bælt’s existing communication efforts, this platform allows the public to witness the assembly of the world’s longest immersed tunnel in real time.

On clear days, the gaze extends across the water to the tunnel element factory at Rødbyhavn on the Danish shore. Two sets of binoculars enhance distant views, while explanatory panels break down each phase of the tunnel’s construction. Visitors can also watch informational films on an integrated screen. Solar panels mounted on the containers power all the facility’s needs, ensuring a sustainable, low‑impact visitor experience.

The viewing terrace is open to all, free of charge, 24 hours a day. A spacious car park accommodates cars, coaches and bicycles, and stair access leads up to the observation deck.

“With this new platform, we’re offering a safe, close‑up look at the Fehmarnbelt tunnel works without entering the live site,” explained Lars Friis Cornett, Director of Femern A/S in Germany. “It enriches our Infocentre in Burg on Fehmarn—which remains the central hub for in‑depth project details—by providing another way for people to engage with this landmark infrastructure.”

Meanwhile, on the Danish side, visitors have enjoyed the 217‑metre “Pilen” viewing platform since March 2025. Located beside the Danish tunnel works, “The Arrow” grants spectacular perspectives, and the Rødbyhavn exhibition—complete with interactive displays, scale models and detailed films—offers a comprehensive deep dive into the project’s engineering and environmental dimensions.
