London Road Railway Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Brighton and Hove, England

The London Road Railway Viaduct extends for 386 yards with 27 arches, including one elliptical arch spanning fifty feet over Preston Road.

John Urpeth Rastrick engineered this transportation structure between 1845 and 1846, using approximately 10 million bricks for its construction.

The Grade II* listed status recognizes this Victorian engineering structure as particularly important among buildings of exceptional architectural interest in Brighton.

The viaduct maintains regular railway service with 174 scheduled passenger trains crossing daily, connecting Brighton station to the East Coastway Line.

The structure's piers are designed with varying thickness to accommodate the sharp railway curve as trains exit the Brighton Main Line.
