The Federal Highway 64 (abbreviated as BAB 64) - Short form: Highway 64 ( Abbreviation: A 64 ) - runs along the Mosel from Trier to Luxembourg heights. It is only 14 kilometers long. Originally, it was planned as a section of the A 48. The missing piece between the A 1 in pine and the end of the A - 64 in Trier Ehrang (B 52), the so-called Meulenwald highway, was not realized, for environmental reasons. After the reorganization of highway numbering beginning of the 1990s was the western part, renamed from the Luxembourg border to Trier, the A 64. The continued in Luxembourg route is the Route 1 to Luxembourg ( city).

The A 64 is a total stretch of the European Route 44

The former Highway border crossing Mesenich was expanded to the Luxembourg side of the border for two-sided service area with gas station. Because of the mineral oil tax advantages of Luxembourg, he is a popular destination German "Tank tourists".

The signage as highway begins west of the Biewerbachtalbrücke, are marked on the three lanes. To the east is the road since 2012 to about 2 km to the parking " thick book" expanded to four lanes. From there, the developed route of the planned Meulenwald motorway bends and leads with four partially narrowed lanes as federal highway 52 in the Moselle Valley.

The continuation by the Meulenwald, a large forest area north- east of Trier is brought as so-called northern bypass of local politicians over and over again this week, without the need for a realization setting in the most urgent needs of the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan could be achieved. Critics point to the high costs of the necessary bridges and tunnels and the fragmentation of the forest Meulen. Proponents see it as a necessary portion of a European transit route and a required discharge to the A 602 in the Moselle valley between the Trier city and Schweich. According to the latest information the Meulenwald motorway should not be included under urgent requirement in 2015 in the Federal Thoroughfare plan.

Since the summer of 2004 there was the so-called Western Bypass Trier, also called " Mosel rise" in the plan approval. The plan is the main road via a new bridge over the Moselle about hedgehogs west of Trier mountain guide from Konz 51 on a new route on the Mosel heights and connect there to the A 64. On 12 May 2005, however, the Higher Administrative Court of Koblenz picked up the decisions taken to zoning approval. In March 2013 declared the Rhineland-Palatinate state government that these two projects would be left permanently fall.
