Tinsley Viaduct, Road bridge in Sheffield, England
The Tinsley Viaduct spans 1036 meters across the Don Valley with two levels, carrying the M1 motorway on top and A631 road below.
The construction began in 1965, with the lower deck opening on March 25, 1968, and the upper deck following on October 19, 1968.
Freeman Fox & Partners designed this engineering achievement, which required 12,500 tons of steel and 80,000 tons of concrete to complete.
The lower deck contains essential infrastructure elements including gas, electricity, and water services alongside the four-lane A631 road.
The structure features 17 pairs of high tensile steel box columns that can adjust for thermal movement and subsidence through specialized jacking facilities.
