history
At this point, a single-track bridge was opened in 1874 for the Essen-Überruhr – Hagen-Vorhalle 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.
