Eisenbahnbrücke Dahlhausen, Railway bridge between Bochum-Dahlhausen and Essen-Burgaltendorf, Germany.
The Dahlhausen railway bridge spans 249 meters across the Ruhr River, connecting the industrial centers of Bochum and Essen at 60 meters above sea level.
Built in 1874 as a single-track bridge for the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company, the structure underwent expansion to double tracks in 1927 and reconstruction after World War II.
The bridge stands near the Dahlhausen Railway Museum, representing the industrial heritage of the Ruhr region and its railway transportation development.
Following its railway decommissioning in 1991, the structure now serves as a crossing point for pedestrians and cyclists, with both paved and gravel path options.
The 1988 addition of a steel bridge on the foundations of the second track created parallel crossing structures for different types of travelers.
