This is a two span single track viaduct, a substantial 2015 reconstruction of the original double track viaduct over the River Gala.
During the long period of abandonment from 1969 to 2015 the girders of the bridge were entirely removed.
To the north is the Torwoodlee Tunnel and to the south east is the site of the former Kilnknowe Junction.
The viaduct is on the long single track section from Bowland Junction to the terminus at Tweedbank.
