Amid concerns raised by St Neots Town Council last week, the East West Rail company has confirmed there may be two viaducts built on land to the east of St Neots.
The Hunts Post contacted EWR to seek confirmation on the plan for a viaduct, details of which St Neots town councillors were concerned had been buried in the consultation documents, and a spokesperson confirmed there may actually be two viaducts. Depending on which alignment option is selected following the current consultation, there may be two viaducts approximately 800m and 1 km respectively to the east of St Neots, one of which would be where the railway crosses the A428 road.

Potential plans to build a 36-foot railway viaduct on land to the east of St Neots have been described as beyond the pale and concerning .
The viaduct plan is contained in documentation relating to the options for the new East West Rail link and were discussed at an Extraordinary meeting held by St Neots Town Council tonight (May 5).
The meeting was told that councillors had only recently discovered the detail, which they say was buried in the paperwork setting out the options for the new rail link.
