Torksey Viaduct is closed. I was there on Friday 7th March 2025 and I ended up cycling south on A road to Dunham Bridge and back north to rejoin the route (Lincoln Gravel Imp). The viaduct may reopen in the future if a new leaseholder is found. Here is some info I found about the closure https://www.railwaypaths.org.uk/category/latest-news/

Good Footbridge over the Ford for when the water's too deep

Deep puddles across the dirt track after heavy rain

With steps at one end you'll have to carry the bike but with no other way to cross the river for miles you may not have much choice

Opened in 1897, Fledborough Viaduct consists of 59 arches spread either side of four metal girder spans which cross the river itself. Nine million bricks were used in its construction which cost £65,000, which seems like quite good value in today's money.

A great track , starting at Fledborough where High Marnham power station was located and going to Braeford Wharf in Lincoln City centre.Twenty five miles return trip if you park at Fledborough.Parking there is fine in the side road.

If you carry on through Skellingthorp you come to the Pyewipe pub, or you can carry on the Lincoln. Harby has a nice pub as well, there’s a theme here?

Not designed for bikes with thin gates but the bike can be turned vertical.

Used as part of a ride from Sheffield to Lincoln - Newark. Wet day, and the sand, grit on the trail got into my chain, and subsequently wore it out. This was part of a round England ride, and the option for full cleaning of the chain was not possible. The trail is good, just be

Once you've navigated along the winding footpath beside the river you'll have to climb a set of steep steps up to the viaduct in order to cross

The Trent can be crossed at Torksey, there is also an old viaduct there. The only trouble is that it has a stile and steps at each end. At the Cottam side it is a grass field then a rough track that leads to Rampton. Sustrans is working on it.

Between the A1 at Newark and the A57 at Newton this is the only alternative way of getting cross the Trent river (that I know of). The path beyond the bridge curves so you can get a good view of it’s 59 arches.

Nice spot for a picnic with the kids, or just to wet your feet 😎

Part of an old railway line that forms an off-road part of National Cycle Route 647 and The Dukeries Trail, the viaduct opened in 1897, and consists of 59 arches spread either side of four metal girder spans which cross the River Trent.

Old railway viaduct now part of sustrans route, hardback flat gravel surface that can be ridden on road bike.

Great section of hardpacked gravel cycle route that provides cyclists with an alternative, traffic-free way of crossing the river Trent. It's part of the Dukeries Trail cycle path.

Nice and flat and reasonably well surfaced ex railway line now dedicated for cycling, horses and walkers. There are a selection of different seats made of old railway sleepers. The path crosses over the Trent on a long, old viaduct.
