Arnside Viaduct


Arnside railway viaduct (aka the Kent Viaduct) is a 51 span structure carrying the Carnforth and Whitehaven Line over the estuary of the River Kent, a short distance west of Arnside Station. Originally constructed in 1856 as a single line viaduct, the structure was extended to twin track in 1863. After 150 years of service, the viaduct had deteriorated, reducing it's load capacity and requiring a speed restriction. As such, the entire structure was renewed from 2010 ro 2011.
