Bletchley Flyover, Concrete railway viaduct in Milton Keynes, England
Bletchley Flyover is a concrete railway viaduct in Milton Keynes that carries trains across the busy West Coast Main Line. The bridge uses a series of concrete supports to span the railway tracks below while allowing traffic to pass through.
The viaduct opened in 1959 as part of a railway expansion plan in Britain. It was rebuilt decades later to support new train services connecting different regions.
The concrete structure represents a milestone in British railway engineering, reflecting the national transport expansion initiatives of the mid-twentieth century in England.
The best way to view the structure is from the streets and paths running beneath it or nearby. The location is easy to reach and offers several good viewing angles around the area.
The original design included electrical infrastructure that was not immediately needed at the time. This forward-looking approach meant the viaduct could accommodate future rail services without major modification.
