Conisbrough Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Cadeby, England
The Conisbrough Viaduct spans 465 meters with 21 brick arches and reaches a height of 35 meters above the River Don.
Built between 1906 and 1909, the viaduct served the Dearne Valley Railway, connecting Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway with Great Northern and Great Eastern Railways until 1966.
The structure earned Grade II listed status in 2021, marking its importance as an example of early 20th-century railway engineering in South Yorkshire.
The viaduct now functions as part of the Trans Pennine Trail, offering cyclists and pedestrians a direct route across the River Don valley.
Construction workers used an aerial ropeway system called Blondin to transport materials across the site, making it one of the first British bridges built using this method.
