The eastern side of the viaduct, viewed along Viaduct Road from near the High Street junction. The brickwork viaduct was built in the 1870s to carry the Brynmawr and Blaenavon Railway across a valley and stream, from Garndiffaith in the east to Talywain in the west. It is about 200 metres long. Closed to passenger traffic in 1941, it remained in use for mineral traffic until 1980. The viaduct now carries National Cycle Route 46.
