It replaced the original Victorian cast iron one in 2014. Due to the forthcoming electrification of the line, the supporting arches of the aqueduct needed to be replaced to allow clearance for the overhead power lines. The river was dammed and pumped to the other side to facilitate the operation. The aqueduct which is of a G.R.P. construction carries the River Chor across the Manchester to Preston railway line.
