Railway viaduct in Novina, Railway viaduct in Novina, Czech Republic

The railway viaduct in Novina is a stone bridge of fourteen semicircular arches, each spanning 12 metres, rising 29.5 metres above the Rokytka valley. It stands on a curve with a radius of 235 metres opening northwest. The masonry is diorite quarried during excavation of the nearby Ještěd tunnel, with Liberec granite used for the cladding and parapets.

The viaduct was built in 1900 to establish a railway route through the hilly landscape of the Liberec region. Construction occurred during an era of railway expansion across Bohemia when new lines supported economic growth in mountain areas.

The structure stands as a protected monument and displays early industrial architecture that shaped how railways moved through mountain regions. Its stone arch form remains a distinctive feature of the local landscape today.

The viaduct lies on the two-kilometre section between Křižany station (500 m) and Novina halt (480 m), just past the 802 m Ještěd tunnel. Walkways and metal railings along the deck let people step aside for passing trains. The bridge curves with a radius of 235 m, opening toward the valley to the northwest.

The viaduct's stone is diorite quarried during the digging of the 802-metre Ještěd tunnel between Křižany and Novina, while Liberec granite was used for its cladding and parapets. The bridge stands 29.5 metres high on fourteen semicircular arches of 12-metre span, each pierced by a central drainage hole, and it curves on a 235-metre radius opening northwest into the Rokytka valley.
