Dutton Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Dutton, England
The Dutton Viaduct stretches 500 yards across the River Weaver and Weaver Navigation, featuring 20 deep segmental arches made of red sandstone.
The construction of this major infrastructure project began in 1836 under engineers Joseph Locke and George Stephenson, with an official opening in July 1837.
The Grade II* listed structure represents Victorian engineering excellence through its architectural design and construction methods using 700,000 cubic feet of stone.
The viaduct continues to serve as an essential part of the West Coast Main Line, allowing trains to travel at speeds up to 125 miles per hour.
This railway bridge was the first viaduct constructed outside London and remained the longest structure on the Grand Junction Railway during its time.
