The new B189 bridge near Wittenberge is part of the A14 motorway expansion and the dilapidated old bridge to the north (built in 1978, longest GDR road bridge). The new construction, which is scheduled to open to traffic in mid-2026, is part of a major infrastructure project to modernize the Elbe crossing and replace the old structure.
