Viaduct, still in use, built in 1879 by Sir Thomas Bouch as part of the North British Arbroath and Montrose Railway. A second section built by Bouch to the north was declared unsafe after testing in 1880 and replaced (see NO75NW0039). It is a 17-span curved brick viaduct with semicircular arches on slightly battered rectangular piers. The A92 road runs beneath the southernmost arch. The brickwork is predominantly English bond, with a roughly tooled stone band course above the arches and a low parapet with plain metal railings. To the west side of the southernmost arch is a small raised shield bearing initials, possibly 'RIN', and dated 1879. There are various reinforcement plates, applied predominantly regularly, and a railway track reinforcement applied to the soffit of the northernmost arch. The east side of the south end has a sloping stone coped wing wall. It has seen significant repointing and brick-replacement during the 1990s.
