Avoncliff Aqueduct, Navigable aqueduct in Winsley, England
The Kennet and Avon Canal crosses both the River Avon and the Bath to Westbury railway line through three distinctive stone arches at Avoncliff.
Engineers John Rennie and John Thomas designed and constructed this Grade II listed structure between 1797 and 1801 using local stone and Bath stone.
The aqueduct represents a major achievement in British canal engineering, demonstrating the industrial revolution's influence on transportation infrastructure in England.
The central arch spans 18.3 meters while two side arches extend 10.4 meters each, with the entire structure stretching 100 meters across the valley.
The structure received concrete reinforcement and waterproofing in 1980 after its central span experienced multiple repairs due to early construction material defects.
