Holborn Viaduct is a bridge in London and the name of the street which crosses it (which is a section of the A40 ). It links Holborn with Newgate Street in the City Of London , passing over Farringdon Street . It was built between 1863 and 1869 , and cost over two million pounds to complete. It spanned the steep-sided Holborn Hill and over the River Fleet valley. City Surveyor William Heywood was the architect and it was opened by Queen Victoria at the same time as Blackfriars Bridge . Four statues on the parapets represent trade and agriculture on the north side and science and the arts on the south side. Staircases provide pedestrian access from the bridge to Farringdon Street. Nearby was the Holborn Viaduct Station , now replaced by the City Thameslink Station . |
