Taff Vale Railway Viaduct over River Taff

The Taff Vale Railway Viaduct over the River Taff is a 3-bay girder viaduct built on tapering rock-faced sandstone piers. The piers feature rounded cutwaters at their bases and have projecting bands just below the tops. Atop the piers are cast iron parapet piers with saddleback copings, which display the date and the letters 'TVR' in relief on alternate faces. The deck of the viaduct is made of steel girders and is surrounded by a latticework steel parapet. These parapets end in rectangular stone piers topped with conglomerate coping stones. The abutments are constructed from rock-faced stone and include a band of red conglomerate near the top. They have splayed walls that support the embankment on both sides, with the west abutment being more substantial due to the steeper ground. The deck still carries an iron pipe, although the rails have been removed.
