add note on listing
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.
 
The viaduct is listed Grade II by Historic England for its special architectural or historic interest.<ref>[https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1386197 | Wribbenhall Viaduct on the Historic England list]</ref>
The winter of 1992/93 saw a major refurbishment by the SVR including installing a waterproof membrane and relaying of the track bed. The viaduct has seen further major refurbishments since.
