Torksey Viaduct is not currently suited for cycling as there are a set of steep steps up to the viaduct on the West bank.

Sustrans plans on extending the route to enable it to be used for cycling in the future.

Torksey Viaduct is a rare example of a tubular box bridge, completed more than 150 years ago as part of the Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway. It is now a footpath across the River Trent linking Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.

Completed in 1849, it carried the main line of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway over the River Trent. The railway closed in 1959 but was restored and opened to the public in 2015. It is a Grade II listed.

Straddling the River Trent, Torksey Viaduct is a rare and early example of a tubular box bridge. The bridge consists of 2 equal box girder spans supported on a single central pier and double side piers. It was completed more than 150 years ago as part of the Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, but it took the engineer Sir John Fowler 4 months to convince the Railway Commissioners that it was strong enough. It closed in 1959, and has been out of use ever since. It is grade II* listed and on the Heritage at Risk register.
