Tay Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Perth, United Kingdom
The Tay Viaduct spans across the River Tay with twenty-two sections, featuring both masonry arches and wrought-iron girder spans along its 396-meter length.
Built between 1862 and 1864 for £27,000, this structure replaced a wooden railway bridge and became one of Scotland's first large plate-girder bridges.
The viaduct connects to Moncreiffe Island, where residents maintain local allotments and participate in activities at King James VI Golf Club.
Network Rail maintains this single-track metal structure, which continues to serve as an essential railway connection between Perth and Dundee.
The western section originally contained a swing bridge span for river navigation, which remained operational until its permanent closure in the 1950s.
