The Moselle Viaduct (French Viaduc de la Moselle ) is the crossing of the French high-speed route LGV Est européenne Paris – Strasbourg across the Moselle valley between Vandières and Champey-sur-Moselle in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department . The viaduct was built from 2003 to 2005 as a two-leg T-beam bridge with a total length of 1510 m. The architect Alain Spielmann was entrusted with the planning of the bridge. On October 24, 2005, the French Transport Minister Dominique Perben inaugurated the Moselle Viaduct. The high-speed line “LGV Est européenne” went into operation on June 10, 2007 when the first train, a German ICE , ran from Gare de l'Est in Paris to Saarbrücken .
