Description
The Causeway Arches, located 650 meters northwest of the level crossing on the Great North Road in Newark on Trent, were built in 1770 and designed by John Smeaton. The southwest side was rebuilt during road widening in 1922. The structure is made of brick with stone coping and features 15 semicircular arches supported by intermediate pilasters. It has a coped parapet wall with ramped curved ends and round piers. This structure is part of a causeway that carries the Great North Road across the flood plain of the River Trent.
