"The Hiiumaa–Saaremaa route was closed because rising sea levels have caused water to accumulate on the ice road, making travel unsafe at this time," the Transport Administration announced on social media.

The Transport Administration opened this year's first ice road between Tärkma in Hiiumaa and Triigi in Saaremaa on February 8. The administration announced at the time that the ice road could be closed at any point depending on weather conditions.

The ice road was first closed on February 15 when cracks formed due to rising water levels. The ice road was then reopened on February 17.

According to online traffic portal Tarktee, the Kihnu ice road was also closed on Saturday.

"On Saturday, February 21, the ice road will be closed all day due to strong winds and surface frost," the website said.
