Description
The Causeway Arches, built in 1770, are located 1490 meters northwest of a level crossing on the Great North Road in Newark on Trent. Designed by John Smeaton, the structure features brick with stone dressings and consists of 13 arches supported by intermediate pilasters. Above each arch, there is a stone spout. The arches are topped with a coped parapet wall that has ramped curved ends and round piers. The south-west side of the arches was rebuilt during road widening in 1922. This structure is part of a causeway that carries the Great North Road across the floodplain of the River Trent.
