Wribbenhall Viaduct (Bridge 11) is situated immediately north of Bewdley station where it can be seen from the platforms. The viaduct was built in 1859; the Chief Engineer and Resident Engineer being John Fowler and and Henry Bridgeman who were also responsible for Victoria Bridge.
The viaduct was originally built using a combination of red brick and locally quarried sandstone. The latter was prone to weathering, and in 1915 large sections were cut out and replaced by blue engineering bricks.
The winter of 1992/93 saw a major refurbishment by the SVRSevern Valley Railway including installing a waterproof membrane and relaying of the track bed. The viaduct has seen further major refurbishments since.
