This stone viaduct on the Blaenau to Bala line was built to accommodate a standard gauge line, replacing a wooden trestle bridge of the former narrow gauge line. The construction of the Tryweryn Reservoir in the 1960s led to the closure of the line, except for the rump serving the Trawsfynydd Nuclear Power Station. The line has not been used since the mid-1990s.
