The viaduct is 42 yards in length, with four arches of 25ft span. The viaduct has suffered from mining subsidence over the years. Regular re-ballasting to overcome this has resulted in the line now being above the original parapet walls<ref>From The Window, Severn Valley Railway</ref>.
During winter of 1976-77, tie bars were inserted in the viaduct to strengthen it as part of the program to upgrade the line for heavier locomotives. The work was carried out with the assistance of the [[Manpower Services Commission]]. Intense cold and heavy rain brought work to a temporary halt while a large slip at [[Sterns]] and the collapse of part of Bridgnroth station car park were dealt with. Services in early 1977 ran for some weeks between Bridgnorth-Highley and Bewdley-Arley until work on the viaduct was completed<ref>SVR News 42-43</ref>.
