Wribbenhall Viaduct (Bridge 11), also referred to as Bewdley North Viaduct, is situated immediately north of [[Bewdley]] station where it can be seen from the platforms. The viaduct was built in 1859; the Chief Engineer and Resident Engineer being [[John Fowler]] and and [[Henry Orlando Bridgeman | Henry Bridgeman]] who were also responsible for [[Victoria Bridge]].
The viaduct was originally built using a combination of red brick and locally quarried sandstone. The latter was prone to weathering, and in 1915 large sections were cut out and replaced by blue engineering bricks. The viaduct is 112 yards in length, with seven brick arches of 25ft span and a larger skew arch of 48ft 9in span over the Kidderminster Road.
