Lyne Viaduct is a viaduct at Lyne in the Scottish Borders of Scotland. It consists of three stone skew arches and a plate girder approach span over a minor road and was built to carry the Symington to Peebles branch line of the Caledonian Railway over Lyne Water to the west of Peebles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lyne Viaduct )〕 Now closed to rail traffic the bridge is used as a footpath.
==History==
The Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway's extension to Peebles was authorised on 3 July 1860 but by the time construction was complete in 1863〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lyne Viaduct )〕 the company had been absorbed by the much larger Caledonian Railway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peebles To Symington Junction Railway, Neidpath Viaduct )〕 The bridge is smaller but of similar design to the nearby Neidpath Viaduct and it often confused with it. Located just to the north of the River Tweed, it was built to carry the Symington to Peebles branch line obliquely at a height of over Lyne Water, close to its confluence with the Tweed and consists of three sandstone skew arches each of span and laid with helicoid courses, and a plate girder approach span of to the west. The total length of the structure is . From the slender piers pilasters extend to parapet level and the parapet is capped by cast-iron railings.〔 On 1 January 1923 ownership of the viaduct, along with the rest of the Caledonian Railway, passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and thence to the Scottish region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. The line lost its regular passenger traffic on 5 June 1950 and closed completely on 7 June 1954 but the bridge remains in use as a footpath.〔
