Loughor railway viaduct, Railway viaduct in Llanelli, United Kingdom
The Loughor railway viaduct extends for 220 meters across the River Loughor, connecting transportation routes between West Wales and multiple regions.
The original structure, completed in 1852, stood as the last remaining timber viaduct designed by engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel until its replacement in 2013.
The Grade II listed structure represents a significant part of Welsh industrial heritage, marking the development of railway infrastructure in South Wales.
The modernized viaduct supports fourteen additional daily train services through Gowerton, reducing journey times and increasing passenger capacity by twenty percent.
A preserved section of the original nineteenth-century viaduct remains beside the new bridge, providing historical context for future generations.
