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

As you travel along the Elbe dike, you will have a wonderful view of the Elbe valley meadows and the course of the Elbe River.

Normally, this Elbe crossing should be avoided by bike. Currently, however, there's almost no alternative. My breathtaking experience was that ALL trucks on the federal highway maintained a considerable distance or waited. Crossing the railway bridge is expected to be possible again from fall 2025.

The Hafenspeicher (harbor warehouses) in Wittenberge are striking historic buildings at the Elbe harbor and a testament to the city's industrial past. The warehouses were built in two phases. The first, smaller warehouse was constructed in 1910, while two larger warehouse buildings were added between 1938 and 1939. In recent years, extensive development projects have been initiated around the Hafenspeicher (harbor warehouses) to revitalize the area and make it usable for both residential and commercial purposes.

Currently life-threatening for cyclists, as there is a major construction site without a dedicated cycle path (October 2024). The alternative route over the railway bridge is also closed. However, there is no other way to use this dangerous route within 20 km. So you have to expose yourself to the danger here. If possible, take this problem into account when planning your tour.
