Altrich, a rural municipality in the district Bernkastel-Wittlich, is bounded by highways between Eifel and Mosel.
Here, the freeways form an important traffic hub between Cologne and Trier and further to Luxembourg, Saarbrücken or Mannheim, as well as from Brussels in Belgium to Frankfurt am Main. It is planned that the connection from Belgium to Frankfurt will be finished in 2018, when the expansion of High Moselle Crossing, a 170 m high bridge over the Moselle Valley, will be completed.
Furthermore, the railway line from Koblenz to Trier, the Saarland and Luxembourg passes here.
