Middelfart - The City of Bridges
Welcome to Middelfart, where our two bridges connect the city and create a unique meeting place for visitors.
The modern Lillebæltsbro, built in the years 1965-1970, stands as a symbol of our city's connection to the outside world.
Every year in June, the lawn under the bridge transforms into a stage for Rock under the Bridge, where locals and visitors can enjoy live music in a unique setting.
In addition to musical experiences, you can also visit flea markets, experience circus performances, and much more under the impressive bridge structure.
In 1970, the New Lillebæltsbro took over a large part of the road traffic from the Old Lillebæltsbro, with three highway lanes in each direction.
