Presumably because its arches are occupied, this short section of railway viaduct has outlived the rest of the structure. Built to carry the former London & North Western Railway line between Leigh and Tyldesley, it now stands forlornly on the eastern edge of the town centre. Just north of here, a guided busway along the trackbed of the railway begins.
