Sandbourne Viaduct from below

Sandbourne Viaduct (Bridge 9), also referred to as Bewdley South Viaduct, is situated only a few yards from the Bewdley Bypass Bridge and is 101 yards in length, with 10 brick arches of 25ft span built on sandstone piers.

On the approach to Bewdley, 'The Loop' from Kidderminster and the original Severn Valley Line from Hartlebury ran side by side over the viaduct, and both sets of tracks are still in situ. SVRSevern Valley Railway trains travel on the former, which is on the side further from the River Severn and Bewdley Town Centre. The latter carries no passenger traffic, but sees frequent use as a siding to hold wagons and engineer’s trains or for rail access to the Stourport Triangle.
