San Joaquin River Viaduct, High-speed railway bridge between Fresno County and Madera County, United States
The San Joaquin River Viaduct is a railway bridge that spans across the valley floor connecting Fresno and Madera County. It features a series of reinforced concrete supports designed to carry trains safely over the river channel below.
Construction on the viaduct began in 2016 as part of a major rail project for the region. It represents a significant shift in modern transportation infrastructure connecting the two counties.
The bridge design incorporates cedar arches, reflecting California's commitment to combining infrastructure functionality with regional architectural elements.
The bridge sits in a remote area and is best accessed by car. Visitors should know the surrounding region is largely undeveloped with limited facilities nearby.
The viaduct crosses a river section that only carries water during heavy rainfall periods. Most of the time, water flows through other parts of the system, leaving the structure standing above a relatively dry valley.
