    Reconstruction of the Friesenbrücke over the Ems. After the bridge was damaged by a collision with a ship in December 2015, it had to be rebuilt. Although it is a railway bridge, it could be used by pedestrians and cyclists. There is therefore no possibility for cyclists to cross the Ems between Papenburg and Leer. A temporarily established ferry connection has also been discontinued.
    The completion of the bridge was originally planned for mid-2024. Unfortunately, the commissioning has been postponed to the expected end of 2025.
