Position: 20 Kilometers, Heavy Construction

May 1, 2011

The Fehmarnbelt Positioning System between Denmark and Germany includes a geodetic basis, four permanent GNSS stations, and a real-time kinematic (RTK) service for construction of a road and rail causeway between the islands of Fehmarn, Germany, and Lolland, Denmark across the Fehmarnbelt, a 20-kilometer stretch of open water in the Baltic Sea.
