The river was simply paved over in the 1930s, i.e. the flow of the water continued as before but now underground. The resulting wide street, which leads from the main brewery to the harbour, became the main route for lorries travelling between the harbour and the brewery and other industry that back then existed in the centre. By the 1990s the harbour was much less important, and much of the industry had closed, so a decision was made to re-open the river. The street now has just one lane in each direction. The town has gained a riverfront of 1.5-2 km, along which there are bars, cafes etc.--or just places to walk.
