Melton Viaduct is a railway viaduct south west of the city of Melton in Victoria, Australia. The 357m (1,171feet) viaduct carries the Serviceton railway line over the valley of the Werribee River, now dammed to create Melton Reservoir.[1] The girder and trestle viaduct was built in 1885 by Victorian Railways to establish a direct rail route between the cities of Melbourne and Ballarat.
The viaduct was listed on the Victorian Heritage Register in 2013.
