Nuneham Viaduct, Railway bridge in Nuneham Courtenay, England.
The Nuneham Viaduct spans the River Thames with two steel bowstring trusses, extending 91 meters across the waterway near Abingdon-on-Thames.
Built in 1907 to replace earlier timber and iron structures, the viaduct received a new three-arch brick northern abutment installation in 1929.
The viaduct serves as a vital connection point in the Didcot to Oxford railway section, enabling transportation links between southern ports and northern distribution centers.
The bridge accommodates forty freight trains daily from the Port of Southampton, along with regular passenger services traveling between Oxford and Didcot.
During the 2023 repairs, engineers lifted the entire structure by 700 millimeters and installed 24 steel piles into the riverbed for stabilization.
