Arnside Viaduct

  • Description

    One Up - One Down on the Northern service between Manchester Airport - Barrow-in-Furness crossing the River Kent in Arnside, Cumbria. From Network Rail - Arnside Viaduct is a 51 span structure carrying the Carnforth and Whitehaven Line over the estuary of the River Kent immediately to the 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, it was in need of renewal. Over the years the viaduct had deteriorated, resulting in the bridge’s load capacity being reduced and a speed restriction being enforced. The viaduct is located in a site of Special Scientific Interest within a Protected National Park, which is also an area of outstanding natural beauty.
