Clifton Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Salford, England
The stone structure spans across the River Irwell with thirteen arches, extending over the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal in Greater Manchester.
Built in 1846 as part of the Manchester, Bury and Rossendale Railway, the viaduct carried trains until the railway line closure in 1966.
The viaduct obtained Grade II listed status for its architectural design and contribution to the industrial development of Northern England.
While the structure remains closed to public access, visitors can view the viaduct from the adjacent Clifton Aqueduct walking path.
The structure earned the local name '13 Arches' due to its distinctive architectural features spanning the Irwell Valley.
