Can be seen from afar. When I drove over (2023-08), there was a construction site on the bridge and everything was cordoned off quite tightly. But you could get through if you communicated with the “oncoming traffic”. If you don't want to spoil the cut, press "pause" first ;-)

Beautiful crossing over the old Elbe, unfortunately there is hardly any water, which looked completely different during the flood of the century...
