Vistula Spit canal
The Vistula Spit canal (official name Nowy Świat ship canal, ) is a planned canal across the Polish section of the Vistula Spit that will create a second connection between the Vistula Lagoon and Gdańsk Bay. It will allow ships to enter the Vistula Lagoon and the port of Elbląg without having to rely on the Russian Strait of Baltiysk, saving a 100 km journey. The works started in February 2019. It is planned to be 1305 m in length and will allow ships of draft up to 4 m, length up to 100 m, and beam up to 20 m. It is planned to be completed in 2022. 

The planned canal location is between the villages of Skowronki and Przebrno.
