Description
Welcome on the Small Strait Damm (Väikese väina tamm) the largest causeway in Estonia which connects Saaremaa and Muhu islands. It measures approx. 3.5km and construction took 2 years (1894 - 27.07.1896). It was built from both coasts simultaneously using a stone foundation laid on bundles of twigs to prevent sinking into the mud sea bottom. Local peasants were paid to transport the stones by boats. One of the stone sources was the Muhu Stronghold which provided 1000 cube meters of this material. The causeway has been repeatadly repaired (after wars and destructive weather conditions), elevated and widened. It has greatly eased traffic costs and speed but has a negative ecological effect by blocking fish spawning routes and natural water movement.
