An interesting iron footbridge runs alongside the viaduct, supported by its piers. See Roxburgh Viaduct Footbridge.

There are 14 segmental arches, 6 of which, over the River Teviot, are skewed. Maximum height approx 70 ft.

Responsible Engineer: John Miller. Resident Engineer: G. Glennie.

The viaduct is now part the Border Abbeys Pedestrian Way.
