The viaduct extends for over 2,280 feet in a north/south direction over the town of Yarm and across the River Tees. It consists of 43 arches; 41 of them are 40 feet span and are constructed of 7.5 million red bricks. The other two arches are constructed from stone and are 67 feet across with one pier standing in the river. The two spans across the river are composed of 139,000 cubic feet of stone and are skewed across the river by 20 degrees. On the downstream side of the viaduct (eastern side) is a large plaque set into the stone section of where the bridge spans the river. This commemorates the engineers and contractors on the project.
