Summary

Description

This view is from the south end of the viaduct, looking north west.

Built by Messrs. Savel and Ward at a cost of £25, 000, it is the third largest viaduct in Wales. The viaduct consists of 15 openings, each one 39 feet 9 inches, a length of 725ft. and a maximum height of 115ft.

The viaduct's main point of architectural interest is the fact that it was built on a curve - as highlighted in this view.
