Leaderfoot Viaduct
Oct. 15th, 2013 10:48 pmI found this bridge on Google Maps, and had hoped I'd be able to see it. It turned out we had some free time on Tuesday morning, before Abbotsford opened.
Leaderfoot Viaduct is an old railroad bridge that crosses the River Tweed. It was built in 1863, and its use ended in 1965. It's 166 feet high, from the river, and the arches are 43 feet wide. It was renovated in the early 1990's.


Next to Leaderfoot Viaduct is Drygrange bridge. Built in 1780, it was in use until the new bridge was completed, in 1973.
