Since November 2014 This viaduct has been undergoing an extensive restoration programme with the renewal of all the deck timbers, the shotblasting and painting of the steelwork together with major repairs to the steel structure which has resulted in this viaduct being under wraps. All is now being revealed as the scaffolding is being dismantled. Congratulations to Network Rail and Dyer & Butler the main contractors.
