Skell Bridge
Looking northerly along the east side of the substantial former railway three arch stone bridge over the River Skell, with an access road at each side, which is located around 3/4 mile south of the former Ure Viaduct, and Ripon station. After closure it had a new wider deck laid on the structure as part of the creation of the A61 Ripon south and east by-pass. The original parapets appear to have been re-erected on the new deck. This view shows the deck extension created on each side of the original structure to form the (overly) wide single carriageway over it.
