Elbebrücke Lutherstadt Wittenberg

The 452-meter steel composite bridge spans across the Elbe River with six sections, including a main span of 148 meters in length.

The first fixed crossing at this location was constructed between 1449 and 1451 as a wooden structure, replacing a ferry service that operated from 1380.

The bridge serves as a connecting point for cyclists following the Elbe Cycle Route, integrating local transportation with regional tourism infrastructure.

This federal highway bridge includes two lanes in each direction and features a dedicated pedestrian and cycling path on its western side.

The bridge was constructed simultaneously with a parallel railway bridge between 1998 and 2000, creating a significant infrastructure complex over the Elbe.
