Kilmarnock railway viaduct
Kilmarnock railway viaduct (1843 - 1850) is a bridge crossing the town centre of Kilmarnock. The bridge begins at Kilmarnock railway station and leads to destinations in England. It is a most distinctive feature of the town centre with 23 masonry arches. It was built in the 1840s to enable the Glasgow – Kilmarnock line to continue to Carlisle.
The viaduct is currently lit by blue lights when it is dark, which makes it more of a noticeable feature in the town.
