Keekle Viaduct is a former railway viaduct near Keekle, Cumbria, England.

Context

The viaduct is a substantial structure which carried the double-track C&WJR's {{rws|Cleator Moor West}} to {{rws|Siddick Junction}} via {{rws|Workington Central}} main line over the River Keekle.{{sfn|McGowan Gradon|2004|pp=6, 11 & 40}}

It is situated between the former stations of {{rws|Cleator Moor West}} and {{rws|Keekle Colliers' Platform}}.

Opened in 1879, it consists of seven equal stone arches across the river.{{sfn|Anderson|2002|p=312}}{{sfn|Marshall|1981|loc=Opposite p.143}}

Timetabled passenger services over the viaduct ended on 13 April 1931. Goods and mineral trains, with very occasional passenger excursions and diversions continued to use the line until it closed completely on 16 September 1963.

The tracks were subsequently lifted. The structure was offered for sale for £1 in 1992, but there was no initial response, as any purchaser would have to maintain and repair it, rather than demolish it and recover the stone.{{sfn|News|1992|p=254}}

Modern Times

In 2013 satellite imagery showed that the viaduct still stood.
