“Newton Cap Viaduct is a historic 19th-century structure in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, spanning the River Wear. Originally built in 1857 for the railway, it was later converted to carry road traffic. It was opened in April 1857 by the North Eastern Railway; closed to trains in 1968 and converted for road use in 1995. It is 828 feet long, 100 feet high with 11 stone and brick arches.” Google
