Railway Viaduct - Picton

Can be seen from Webster Street or Picton Avenue

Was built by a contractor named Ambrose Crawshaw and work commenced in 1862. The viaduct has five 12.2 metre arches and is 84.1 metres long. Its highest point is 23.8 metres above the creek bed. Construction took several years and it is now the oldest existing stone archway over water in NSW still in use.
