Milton Regis Viaduct carries the line between Sittingbourne Viaduct station and Milton Regis (Asda) Halt, it is 2,895 feet (883 metres) long and consists of 118 spans and six bridges (crossing The Wall, Flushing Street, Milton Creek, Kings Street, Gas Road and Cook's Lane).
It was constructed in 1914-15 out of reinforced concrete by Trollope & Colls Ltd with engineers Rendel, Palmer & Tritton.
Its initial cost was £10,615 0s 0d and has cost the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway £105,000 (to date) to repair and maintain - this money comes directly from the fare box, as the Railway receives no external funding.
During the winter of 2016/17, extensive additional repairs were carried out to Skew/Gas Road Bridge due to damage caused by over-height vehicles striking the bridge during the Gas Road/Cook's Lane lowering project.
These repairs cost an unplanned £20k, in addition to the regular £20k maintenance bill on even-numbered years.
