🌉 Holborn Viaduct

Holborn Viaduct is a road bridge in London, and also the name of the street which crosses it. Opened in 1869, it links Holborn, via Holborn Circus, with Newgate Street, in the City of London. It passes over Farringdon Street and the subterranean River Fleet. The viaduct spans the steep-sided Holborn Hill and the River Fleet valley. It is 1,400 feet (430 m) long and 80 feet (24 m) wide. City Surveyor William Haywood was the architect, and the engineer was Rowland Mason Ordish.
