Landore viaduct, Railway viaduct in Landore, Swansea, Wales
The Landore viaduct extends 536 meters across the Swansea valley and River Tawe, featuring 37 stone arches of varying widths spanning the waterway.
Engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed this transportation structure in the 1840s, with the first train crossing the completed viaduct on May 30, 1850.
The viaduct stands as an engineering achievement of the Industrial Revolution, connecting the South Wales Main Line to the West Wales Line through Swansea.
The structure underwent major renovations between 1978 and 1979, replacing original elements with steel materials while maintaining five original masonry piers.
The largest arch of the viaduct spans 33.5 meters over the River Tawe, while the remaining arches measure between 11 and 12.8 meters in width.
