Borle Viaduct (Bridge 21) carries the SVR over Borle Brook, which feeds into the River Severn from the hills to the west of the Railway. Like other bridges on the Severn Valley Railway, it was built with the capacity for dual tracks but only ever installed for single line running.
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>.
