Byker Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.
The Byker Viaduct spans 2,674 feet across the Ouseburn Valley with an S-shaped curve, connecting Manors Metro station to Byker Metro station.
Construction of this concrete structure took place between 1976 and 1979, marking the first British bridge to use epoxy resin for joining cantilevered sections.
The viaduct represents a major engineering achievement in Newcastle's transportation network, standing alongside two other high-level bridges across the Ouseburn.
The structure carries the Tyne and Wear Metro tracks at a height of 98 feet, facilitating direct connections between central Newcastle and eastern coastal regions.
The construction required 253 concrete segments weighing 40 tonnes each, with the tallest support pier reaching approximately 70 meters above ground level.
