The Wilhelmina van Pruisenbrug is an electromechanically driven drawbridge over the Hollandse IJssel near Hekendorp. This bridge between Hekendorp and Haastrecht connects the provinces of South Holland and Utrecht. A radar detection system has been installed on this unmanned bridge.

The Wilhelmina van Pruisenbrug is a drawbridge for pedestrians and cyclists in Hekendorp, spanning the Hollandsche IJssel River. Built in 1992 to replace a ferry, it is named after Princess Wilhelmina of Prussia, who was arrested nearby in 1787. The bridge is electrically operated by a pushbutton and is primarily used during the sailing season. It is part of the historic and touristic Princess Route.
