Elbebrücke Roßlau, Steel road bridge in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany.

The Elbebrücke Roßlau is a steel bridge crossing the river with three traffic lanes, sidewalks, and a cycling path. The structure connects both banks with a straightforward design that handles daily traffic from vehicles and people.

The first permanent Elbe crossing here was a 300-metre wooden bridge with twelve openings, inaugurated on 24 December 1583 for Prince Joachim Ernst of Anhalt and planned by Peter and Bernhard Niuron. Burned by Tilly's troops in 1631, it was rebuilt in wood in 1739 and again in 1787; Prussian troops set the 1787 bridge alight after Jena in 1806. A fourth wooden bridge followed in 1836, destroyed by fire in March 1945. The present steel girder bridge opened on 7 October 1960.

The bridge connects two parts of the town and is part of daily life for local residents. You see a constant flow of cars, cyclists, and pedestrians crossing the Elbe on their way through the area.

The bridge is easy to cross on foot or by bicycle, with separate paths for both. The structure is generally passable year-round and sits on the main route between town sections.

At the highest navigable water level, the clearance under the bridge is only 5.42 m, making it one of the lowest bridges over the Elbe. The steel box girder was assembled in halves at the abutments, rolled over temporary supports and welded together at midspan.
