The ice road between Haapsalu and Noarootsi opened on February 15 at 11.00 EET, only to close a few hours later.
The 4km stretch of ice road, a short cut between the mainland town of Haapsalu and the Noarootsi peninsular, also on the mainland, was opened to vehicles weighing up to 2.5 tons.
However, thawing conditions and an unexpected volume of traffic prompted the Road Administration (Maanteeamet) to close the route just a few hours later. (ERR/Business World Magazine)
