The Hochmosel Crossing is a section of the new four-lane B50 route between the Wittlich interchange and Longkamp in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district (Rhineland-Palatinate). Its centerpiece is the roughly 1.7 km long, 160 m high Hochmoselbrücke bridge spanning the Moselle between Platten and Erden/Lösnich; the full 25 km route cost around EUR 530 million as of September 2022. It opened to traffic on 21 November 2019 and has been in operation since, carrying an average of about 10,300 vehicles per day in 2021.
