How to formulate a MapPageRoute with a hash (#) in it?

I'm using MapPageRoute to make a route to a page, which works fine. However, I would like the page to scroll to the bottom to show a certain div with id bottom. I have tried to make the following route but the hash is being encoded in the URL so the page does not scroll down.

RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("Topics", 
 "onderwerpen/{ID}/{name}#bottom", 
 "~/TopicPage.aspx"
);

results in:

mydomain/onderwerpen/1/title%23bottom

when called like this:

Response.RedirectToRoute("Topics", new { ID = 1, name = "title" });

I think I found the most suitable solution myself. This answer is open for discussion.

string url = Page.GetRouteUrl("Topics", new { ID = 1, name = "title" });
Response.Redirect(url + "#bottom");

You won't be able to redirect to an anchor using Response.RedirectToRoute(). In the code you've supplied, the routeUrl parameter contains the #bottom anchor. The anchor tag doesn't belong in routeUrl because routeUrl is an expression used to match against an incoming request. And appending the #bottom anchor to the third parameter: physicalFile won't work because, as the parameter name suggests, you are specifying the name of a file on the web server, not a URL.

Why not just use good ol' Response.Redirect()? 

Response.Redirect("onderwerpen/1/title#bottom");
