The Railroad viaduct Koblenz-Felsenau or Koblenz-Aare Railway Bridge (German: Aarebrücke Koblenz) over the Aare River, between the stations of Koblenz and Felsenau, in the canton of Aargau, very close to its mouth in the Rhine and the border with Germany, it was built between 1891 and 1892 by the Schweizerische Nordostbahn as part of the Rhine Valley Railway, for the Stein-Koblenz line. It is a 236 m (774 ft) long single track bridge designed by engineer Robert Moser. Since 1994, only freight trains have run through it.
