The Forder viaduct was first constructed in wood in the mid 1800's. This was a cost cutting measure due to the high costs of creating the railway through the southwest. Over the following years the wooden bridges were replaced with stone ones as funds became available. This bridge was built in 1908. It's an impressive bridge carrying the railway over Forder Lake.
