The viaduct was originally built, and is still in use, to carry local trains from Bushey to Watford High Street stations over the valley of the River Colne. The diverted loop of Watford's Lower High Street now passes through two of the arches on the north side of the river while the remaining arches straddle the car park of the unsurprisingly named Arches Retail Park.
