Transpordiamet closed all three ice roads on Saturday. Bad weather was the reason.
At 12 o'clock, the ice road between Hiiumaa and Saaremaa, the Kihnu ice road, and the Vormsi ice road were closed.
The ice road between Hiiumaa and Saaremaa was closed due to rising sea levels. The Kihnu ice road was closed because of the storm. The Vormsi ice road was closed due to rising sea levels and snowfall.
Transpordiamet director Hannes Vaidla said that they are waiting for the weather to improve. Then it will be clear whether the ice roads can be opened on Sunday or Monday.
The ice road between Hiiumaa and Saaremaa was closed because the sea level rose. Water was on the ice road, and driving was dangerous.
Transpordiamet opened the first ice road on February 8th. It was between Hiiumaa Tärkma and Saaremaa Triigi. The agency said that the ice road might close due to bad weather.
The ice road was closed for the first time on February 15th. The reason was cracks caused by rising water levels. The ice road was reopened on February 17th.
The Vormsi and Kihnu ice roads were opened on February 15th.
