About the event

The Thame Valley Viaduct is located within the Northern Vale and crosses the low-lying Thame Valley, approximately 350 metres to the south-west of the Rabans Lane Industrial Area on the western periphery of Aylesbury. The viaduct is partially visible from Public Rights of Way to the south-west.

Activities

We’ve begun assembling the UK’s first major railway viaduct to be entirely manufactured off-site, in a move that represents a major step forward for viaduct design and promises to boost safety and efficiency on site.

Unlike more traditional viaduct designs, every major element of the 880m long Thame Valley Viaduct is being manufactured in a factory before being slotted together on site like a giant Lego set, cutting its carbon footprint by around a third.
