Schnettkerbrücke, Road bridge in Dortmund, Germany.
The Schnettkerbrücke spans 328 meters across the Emscher Valley, featuring a red steel arch with a height of 28 meters and six traffic lanes.
Construction of the initial bridge commenced before World War I, but remained incomplete until 1931 when a riveted steel truss structure was built.
The bridge derives its name from the former Am Schnettker farm that once stood near the current structure in the Schönau district.
The structure incorporates noise barriers along its sides and connects to the A40 federal highway, allowing vehicles to travel at speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour.
During construction of the new junction 44 near the bridge, workers discovered fossilized remains of a prehistoric predatory dinosaur.
