Kirkstall Road Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Burley, Leeds, England
The Kirkstall Road Viaduct extends over 440 meters across the River Aire, Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and A65 Kirkstall Road through multiple stone arches.
Engineer Thomas Grainger constructed this Grade II listed structure in 1849 as part of the Leeds and Thirsk Railway connecting Leeds to Stockton-on-Tees.
The viaduct's sandstone construction differs from surrounding red brick buildings, marking a departure from typical Victorian industrial architecture in Leeds.
The structure continues to support regular rail services on the Harrogate line while spanning major transportation routes including road, river, and canal networks.
Twenty-one segmental arches rest on large rusticated piers, featuring chamfered voussoirs and a distinctive moulded cornice with parapet throughout its length.
