railway viaduct

A railway viaduct is a type of bridge designed to carry trains over valleys, roads, or other obstacles. It consists of a series of connected arches, spans, or supports that elevate the railway line, providing a stable and level track. Viaducts are engineered to distribute the weight of trains efficiently and allow movement across challenging terrains, often constructed with durable materials like brick, stone, or concrete. They enable seamless transit routes, preserving natural landscapes and connecting communities by bridging gaps where the terrain would otherwise hinder railway construction.
