Blackstone Viaduct, 1872 railway bridge in Blackstone, United States.
The Blackstone Viaduct extends 1600 feet across the landscape, featuring masonry arches and earthen embankments that rise 25 feet above the ground.
The Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad constructed this granite structure in 1872 to establish a direct rail connection between New York City and Boston.
The viaduct represents a period of industrial growth in Massachusetts, when railroad expansion transformed small towns into manufacturing centers.
Visitors can access walking trails near the viaduct to observe both the historical structure and the Blackstone River from multiple viewing points.
The structure combines an 800-foot earthen embankment with a 375-foot multiple-arch masonry bridge, demonstrating two distinct engineering approaches in one construction.
