The article discusses the recent establishment of an ice road connecting the islands of Hiiumaa and Saaremaa in Estonia, which was done in response to a transport crisis, despite previous regulations against such constructions.
The article outlines the circumstances leading to the creation of an ice road between the Estonian islands of Hiiumaa and Saaremaa. Historically, Estonia's approach has been to rely on ice-class ferries without building ice roads. However, in light of a recent transport crisis connecting Hiiumaa, the government allocated approximately 120,000 euros to officially establish this ice road. This move marks a significant deviation from previous policies regarding winter transport.
