22 September 2021, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Tribsees: Christian Pegel (SPD) (l-r), Minister of Transport of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Ronald Normann, Director of the Northeast Branch of Autobahn GmbH des Bundes, Stephan Krenz, Managing Director of Autobahn GmbH des Bundes, and Eckhardt Rehberg, CDU Member of the Bundestag, stand on the new carriageway at the opening of the route to the west of the newly built Baltic Sea motorway near Tribsees. With the release, half of the new motorway to be built is now complete, apart from the remaining work on the traffic control facilities. The A20 had subsided and collapsed on a particularly boggy section near Tribsees in autumn 2017. The entire new construction is to be completed by the end of 2023.
