Description

This was a single track girder viaduct in the east of Strathaven. This viaduct was between Strathaven North (to the north) and Pomillion Viaduct [North]. It was located on the Mid Lanark Lines (Caledonian Railway) link between Whiteshawgate Junction (north of Strathaven) and Strathaven Central.

The viaduct was demolished after closure. The approach embankments have been partially lowered and portions of the stone abutments remain. These can be seen from the A71 which the viaduct crossed over.
