Arnside Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Cumbria, England
The Arnside Viaduct extends 505 meters across the River Kent estuary with 51 concrete and steel piers supporting the railway tracks.
The original structure from 1857 underwent complete reconstruction in 1915 to accommodate increased wartime transportation demands to and from Barrow.
The viaduct serves as an essential connection point within the Cumbrian Coast Line, linking communities between Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness through daily rail services.
A 16-week closure in 2011 enabled major structural upgrades, including the installation of continuous welded rails to reduce noise for passing trains.
This engineering structure marked the first application of water jetting technology for pile construction in viaduct development worldwide.
