But some are still viaducts acting as viaducts, not historical landmarks but
carrying whatever they were designed to carry. Also I think there are modern
viaducts, made out of metal/concrete.
Hmmm, in the UK there is 1 (possibly 2) canals that suddenly end on a
viaduct. There is then the end section that moves on a big rotating wheel,
to end up at the bottom (where a section from the bottom is now at the top).
It was made to get the canal system working again but no room for many locks
that gradually brought boats down hill in the past. I wonder what you would
tag that canal lift as! (I would link to photos but I don't know the name or
where it is.
