Roughly 11 million bricks were used in its construction; at the time of its completion, it was the world's largest viaduct and a major feat of engineering. The viaduct is 33.85 metres (111.1 ft) high. Since March 1975, Stockport Viaduct has been a Grade II*

The plans for the viaduct differed from what was actually constructed, particularly in terms of its height. It was planned to be 23.8 metres (78 ft) high, but raised after it was realised that it would save £50,000 across the whole line. The viaduct stands 33.8 metres (111 ft) above the bed

On 10 March 1839, the viaduct's foundation stone was laid. At the peak of construction, around 600 workers were employed in shifts, working day and night. It took 21 months to complete using around 11 million common bricks and 11,300 cubic metres (400,000 cu ft) of stone and cost £72,000.

The
Manchester to Stockport line was officially opened on 4 June 1840, but the viaduct was not completed until 21 December 1840. On 16 July 1841, the first train crossed the viaduct and it opened to rail traffic on 10 August 1842, enabling through services to
