The bridge is built in a classical style. It carries the railway over a road junction just off the A37 road and a stream. It consists of three arches—the central arch, spanning the road, is round-headed and much the largest. It is flanked by a smaller arch on each side, one of which spans Sydling Water, a minor river. The piers of the main arch contain four relieving arches, all round-headed and similar to the flanking arches; the outer arches are heavier and square. The whole structure is built from blocks of stone and faced with rock. The arches have ashlar stone voussoirs, above which is a moulded cornice and band course (a line of decorative stonework), surmounted by a low parapet. The surrounding embankment is retained by substantial wing walls, curved and coped to form a revetment.[3][4]
The viaduct is a Grade II listed building, first designated on 20 May 1985. Listed status provides it with legal protection.[4]
