The project was commissioned by Varde Municipality with funding support from the Danish Nature Agency under the river restoration initiative RIB-00208.

The preliminary study indicated that constructing a bypass was a cost-effective solution, and there was landowner support for the project. Consequently, in 2015, a bypass channel approximately 420 meters long was excavated in the § 3-protected watercourse Stokbæk near Linding Møllesø, Varde.

The bypass channel compensates for a 2.5-meter drop from the dam at Linding Møllesø. It was designed with spawning beds and resting pools with a bottom width of 1 meter.

The project was completed on schedule and within the established budget.

Subsequently, spawning salmon have been observed in the bypass channel.
