The Sankey Viaduct is a railway viaduct in North West England. It is a designated Grade I listed building and has been described as being "the earliest major railway viaduct in the world". In 1826, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company (L&MR) was authorised to construct the world's first intercity railway. One obstacle on the selected 50-kilometre (31 mi) route between Liverpool and Manchester was the Sankey Valley. The company's principal engineer, George Stephenson, designed the Sankey Viaduct for the double-track railway to traverse the valley and Sankey Canal with sufficient clearance for the masts and sails of the Mersey flats that used the canal.

  • Sankeyský viadukt patřil k prvním velkým železničním viaduktům na světě. Byl postaven v Anglii v letech 1828–1830 na nově budované trati Liverpool-Manchester, v blízkosti města Newton-le-Willows. Trať stavěl George Stephenson, samotný most navrhl . Úkolem mostu bylo překlenout v té době velmi důležitý plavební kanál v údolí Sankey bez omezení provozu. Viadukt sám má 9 oblouků, podle kterých dostal také místní název „Devět oblouků“. Každý pilíř má rozpětí 15 m a nese dvoukolejnou trať ve výšce 21,5 m nad nejnižším bodem údolí. Šířka mostu je 7,6 m. Vzhledem k měkkému podloží jsou základy mostu postaveny na cca 200 pilotách zaražených do hloubky 6 až 9 m. Pilíře mostu jsou postaveny z pískovcových kvádrů. Mostní oblouky jsou z cihel, vnější obložení je rovněž z pískovce. Pískovec pro stavbu byl těžen v blízkém lomu vzdáleném necelý kilometr. Ve své době byl most včetně předmostí a nábřeží unikátní a obdivovanou stavbou. (cs)

The viaduct was built between 1828 and 1830, although work on the structure did not finish until the middle of 1833. On 15 September 1830, the viaduct was opened along with the Liverpool & Manchester railway. During 2015, Network Rail installed overhead line equipment as part of a wider electrification programme.
