The Nonnweiler Viaduct is a railway bridge in Nonnweiler near the train station of the high forest railway . It is located at kilometer 58.5. The bridge was opened in 1897 with the completion of the Nonnweiler - Türkismühle section.

The bridge was badly damaged in a bombing raid in 1944 and was then repaired as a makeshift. During the repairs, the third pillar was concreted for structural reasons and fastened with struts made from railroad tracks. The bridge could be used again by 1951 at the latest.

Part of the viaduct is visible from the Primstalbrücke .
