Medway Viaducts, Bridge system in Cuxton, England
The Medway Viaducts consist of three parallel bridges spanning the River Medway, with two structures carrying the M2 motorway and one supporting the railway line.
The initial Medway Viaduct opened in 1963 as part of the M2 motorway construction, followed by extensive renovations in the late 1990s and a new bridge in 2003.
The bridges integrate with the North Downs Way walking path, providing access points for pedestrians to experience the Medway Valley landscape from elevated positions.
The viaducts serve as critical infrastructure connecting London to the Channel Tunnel, facilitating both vehicular traffic on the M2 and high-speed rail transportation.
A Eurostar train set a British rail speed record of 208 miles per hour while crossing the railway viaduct, demonstrating the engineering capabilities of the structure.
