The viaduct dates as far back as 1850. Originally, it was 536-metre (1,759 ft) long structure designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The original structure incorporated a diverse range of structural design elements and was constructed in timber. The structure was updated in 1889, using wrought-iron for the central span. In 1978/1979, the rest of the viaduct was re-decked with steel beams.
