Volmetalbrücke, Road bridge in Hagen, Germany
Volmetalbrücke is a road bridge in Hagen that spans across the Volme valley, carrying traffic above both the river and the railway line below. The structure connects different parts of the city and handles multiple layers of transportation infrastructure in a single crossing.
Construction took place from 1971 to 1977 as part of Hagen's urban development to improve traffic connections. The bridge reflects how the industrial city adapted its infrastructure to meet growing transportation needs.
The bridge represents North Rhine-Westphalia's industrial development, connecting different districts of Hagen through its strategic northeastern position near Eilpe.
You can access the bridge anytime since it is part of Federal Road 54 and remains open to traffic continuously. There are ways to view it up close and appreciate its structure spanning across the valley below.
The structure uses 41 openings organized into six continuous beam sections and supported by hexagonal pillars below. This engineering solution allowed the bridge to cross the valley while adapting to its varying terrain.
