Elevated section of motorway in Birmingham, England From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bromford Viaduct carries the M6 motorway between Castle Bromwich (junction 5) and Gravelly Hill (junction 6; Gravelly Hill Interchange) along the River Tame valley in Birmingham, England. This elevated stretch of motorway above the Tame itself is 3+12 miles (5.5 kilometres) long, which makes it the longest viaduct in Great Britain,[1] 14 mile (400 metres) longer than the Second Severn Crossing. It was constructed between 1964 and 1972.[1]

Bromford Viaduct crosses Bromford Lane, part of the A4040, Birmingham's non-motorway outer ring road.
