The Konzer Moselle Bridge is a railway bridge over the Moselle near Konz , which connects the Saar line and the Upper Moselle line with the Trier western line. It is mainly used by trains from Trier to Wasserbillig / Luxembourg . The Kreuz Konz stop is located on the approach to the bridge .

The bridge was built between 1855 and 1875; After being destroyed in World War II , it was rebuilt between 1946 and 1953. It has a total length of 217 meters. The bridge has six river piers and two abutments. The foundations of pillars 1, 2 and 4-6 were built in 1855. In 1953 the foundation of pillar 3 was rebuilt. It was examined and repaired several times in the 1990s. The driveways from the Saar route and the Upper Moselle route as well as the connection to Trier-Zewen were originally double-tracked. When a track was dismantled in the early 1990s, the route on the bridge was used for a cycle path.
