The viaduct, along with other viaducts and bridges on the South Trans-Pennine main line (Leeds to Manchester), was listed grade II (List entry 1451053) as recently as 2018, in advance of projected upgrade works to the route. Reasons for listing were as "a little altered example of an 1840s viaduct on what is now one of the main railway lines in northern England" and that it was designed by the notable Scottish railway engineer Thomas Grainger.
