Wentbridge Viaduct is a road bridge in West Yorkshire, England. The viaduct carries four lanes of the A1 road over the small valley of the River Went at an elevated level, replacing the previous bridge which was down on the valley floor and to the west in the village of Wentbridge. The viaduct, which is made from pre-stressed concrete, was opened in 1961, and is grade II listed.
