Notes
  • Significance: Of the four extremely large concrete arch viaducts constructed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad on straightening projects during the early 20th century, the Delaware River Viaduct is the only one with a curving, skew alignment. These structures illustrate the railroads pioneering efforts in reinforced concrete design, the luxury of detail permitted by its ample budget, and its drive to become "one of the most technologically perfect railroads in the nation."
