Elbebrücke Mühlberg, Girder road bridge in Belgern-Schildau, Germany.

Elbebrücke Mühlberg is a 690.5 m road bridge over the Elbe and its floodplain, linking Landesstraße 66 in Brandenburg with Bundesstraße 182 in Saxony and crossing the state border. Its curved deck carries two lanes plus a foot and cycle path. The structure has 12 spans: a 420.5 m steel-composite section over the river with a 144 m main span, and a 270 m prestressed-concrete section on the eastern floodplain. At the right bank, two V-shaped steel-composite legs form an eye-shaped pier.

A ferry crossed the Elbe here for centuries. In the 1920s a bridge association was founded and a 1929 design proposed a 550 m span, but the crossing was only built after Brandenburg and Saxony signed a planning agreement on 20 January 2004. Work began in March 2006 and the bridge opened on 22 December 2008.

The bridge replaced a Gierseilfähre, a ferry guided by the river current on a cable, which had crossed the Elbe at Mühlberg for centuries. A bridge-building association founded in Mühlberg existed from 1928 to 1935 and pushed for the crossing. The 2010 German Bridge Building Prize, awarded without ranking in the road and railway bridge category, recognised the design.

The bridge is accessible to cars, trucks, and pedestrians and forms an important connection between the two riverside communities. Visitors should know that it carries busy traffic and pedestrians should use the pathways on the side.

The pier on the right bank is the structure's fixed point: two V-shaped steel-composite legs joined monolithically to the box girder form an "eye". Its bearings use high-strength self-compacting concrete C55/67, tested on a full-scale specimen — a first in Germany.
