in Sutton Weaver, Cheshire

Carries the Chester-Warrington railway over the Weaver Navigation.

Also known as Bridge No. 54.

Built 1848-50 for the Birkenhead, Lancs & Cheshire Junction Railway Co. The Engineer was Alexander Rendel, and Thomas Brassey was the Contractor.

The cast iron arch bridge is flanked by arched brick abutments. The cast iron span has been strengthened by concrete infill, and topped by a concrete deck.

Similar cast iron arches are used on the Frodsham Viaduct, a few miles to the west.
