Rail transport bridge Trier-Pfalzel, Railway bridge in Trier-Pfalzel, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

The Trier-Pfalzel railway bridge carries the Moselle line over the river at kilometre 108.150, linking the Pfalzel and Ruwer districts of Trier. Today's 206-metre steel structure holds two tracks and, on its southern side, a foot and cycle path reached by ramps at both ends. Four of the original piers were demolished; at the northern end a junction leads to the Ehrang freight yard and the Trier-Pfalzel stop.

The bridge opened on 15 May 1878 as a single-track crossing of the Kanonenbahn; a second track followed in 1880, and between 1914 and 1917 it was widened to four tracks with eight arches. German pioneers blew it up on 1 March 1945 after air raids had already damaged it in December 1944. A single-track provisional span opened on 1 May 1947, and the final rebuild finished in 1957.

Locals call it the Pfalzeler Brücke after the Pfalzel district at its southern end. The parallel foot and cycle path, reachable by ramps at both ends, links Trier-Pfalzel with Trier North and is used by people with limited mobility. A switch at the northern end lets trains cross onto the opposite track, so trains regularly run against the usual direction.

The bridge can be viewed from nearby riverbanks or from adjacent rail lines where trains pass regularly. Visitors can observe it from several vantage points, especially while traveling on trains along the route.

Four of the original piers were demolished; the present 206-metre steel bridge carries two tracks and a footpath. At its northern end a switch lets trains move from the opposite track onto the regular track, and a junction leads toward the Ehrang freight yard and the Trier-Pfalzel stop.
