Kingsmead Viaduct

Kingsmead Viaduct is a road bridge that spans across the Lea Valley and carries multiple layers of traffic. It combines a two-way road with sections that cross above both rivers and a railway line in the valley below.

Construction started in 1973 to address growing traffic needs in the Ware area. Its completion in 1976 represented a major milestone in local infrastructure development.

The viaduct crosses above a nature reserve and connects communities while allowing views of the river valley and wetland landscape below. People in the area use it daily as an important link between towns.

The bridge is open year-round as part of the A10 road and serves as a key route through the area. The best views of the structure and valley below can be found from nearby walking paths.

The structure required an enormous amount of material to build and stands as one of the more substantial engineering projects of its era. Major restoration work in 2005 renewed critical components and extended the bridge's service life.
