    New construction of the Friesenbrücke (Frisian Bridge) over the Ems River. After the bridge was damaged in 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. This means that cyclists cannot cross the Ems between Papenburg and Leer. A temporary ferry service has also been discontinued.
    Completion of the bridge was originally planned for mid-2024. Unfortunately, its commissioning has been delayed until the end of 2025.

    Today, September 5, 2025, the new Friesenbrücke bridge was opened to pedestrians and cyclists.
    Train service will reopen in 2026.
