Spanning the River Wear at Newton Cap in County Durham is a former railway viaduct, completed in 1857 to carry the NER route from Durham into Bishop Auckland. The line closed in 1968 and the viaduct was subsequently adapted to carry road traffic on what is now the A689. View south across the Wear towards Bishop Auckland in September 2010. For the view north across the viaduct see image 30910.
