ucked away along Route 11 in northeastern Pennsylvania is one of the most amazing man-made structures in Pennsylvania: the Tunkhannock Viaduct.

The Tunkhannock Viaduct (also known as the Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct, Nicholson Viaduct, or the Nicholson Bridge) crosses imposingly over the small Wyoming County community of Nicholson. From basically anywhere in this borough, the viaduct can be seen as it passes up to 240 feet above the town and Tunkhannock Creek.

This creates an incredibly unique visual that’s definitely worth taking the time to see.

The Tunkhannock Viaduct was completed in 1915 for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad. The structure was designed by William Hull Botsford, who was the chief designer for the railroad. At the age of 26, he died in the sinking of the Titanic, shortly after his plans were approved for the viaduct.

The viaduct was constructed as part of the Nicholson Cutoff, which allowed the railroad to save 20 miles off of its trip and allowed for nearly double the allowable speed, ensuring that goods and passengers could pass from Binghamton, New York to Scranton much more quickly.
