    The 'soda bridge' in Merklinde is so called because it simply stands there without fulfilling any purpose.
    A bridge that has not driven a single car for more than a quarter of a century.
    In 1978, construction began on the reinforced concrete block. In 1980 the bridge was finished, and since then it is just there. To some graffiti graffiti richer, but without driving. It was planned to connect the bridge to the Neuen Hellweg, which was to lead from Dortmund-Mengede to Bochum-Gerthe.

    Dangerous there for cyclists. Pedestrian children and very confusing for truck and car drivers. All are for safety but nothing is done.
