The Kilnap Viaduct (known colloquially as the Eight-Arch Bridge) is an eight-arch railway viaduct located in Cork, Ireland. Built in 1845, it carried the Great Southern & Western Railway line to Cork over the valley of Glennamought River and Mallow Road,[1] and is still in use today as part of the main Dublin to Cork line. The viaduct is listed as a protected structure by Cork City Council.[2]
