Rectory Junction Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Stoke Bardolph, United Kingdom.
The Rectory Junction Viaduct is a railway bridge made of cast iron that spans the River Trent between Netherfield and Radcliffe-on-Trent. The structure consists of a large arch with six ribs designed to allow river traffic to pass underneath.
The viaduct was built in 1850 by Clayton & Shuttleworth of Lincoln as part of the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway development. Its original timber approach was replaced with a brick structure by Alexander Ross between 1909 and 1910.
The Grade II listed structure represents a milestone in Victorian engineering, demonstrating the technical abilities of 19th-century railway infrastructure construction.
The structure carries the Nottingham-Grantham railway line and is visible from nearby public roads, though direct access is limited. Visitors can view the bridge from various points along the river, particularly from nearby footpaths.
The approach viaduct, initially constructed in timber with 32 spans, was rebuilt in brick during 1909-1910 with 28 spans by Alexander Ross.
