The Dahlhausen Railway Bridge is a former railway bridge that crosses the Ruhr between Bochum-Dahlhausen and Essen-Burgaltendorf. It is located near the former freight yard of Dahlhausen train station with today's Dahlhausen Railway Museum. A single-track bridge was opened at this point in 1874 for the Essen-Überruhr-Hagen-Vorhalle railway line of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft from Überruhr to Burgaltendorf to Altendorf (Ruhr) station and on to Dahlhausen. It was expanded to two tracks in 1927. The bridge was destroyed in the Second World War. In 1951 a track was restored. The bridge is no longer used by the railway today. The rails were removed in 1991.

The steel bridge for cyclists and pedestrians located next to it was built in 1988 on the foundations of the second track.

Here you can change the Ruhr side.

Looking downstream, the left side is flat, paved and heavily trafficked.

The right side is gravelled, with lots of holes and roots, slightly hilly but significantly less visited.

The old railway bridge still bears witness to a time for which the Ruhr area was known. It was not only used for goods traffic, but also as a means of transport for people.
