Part of The Greenway. Centre piece of Newport, the railway viaduct that once carried steam trains through Newport on their way to Achill, is now preserved as a walkway for native and visitor, to enjoy. It spans the Blackoak River, contains seven arches and cost £7,640 to build. The first train crossed the bridge in February, 1894, and it was finally closed in September 1937.

At night both it and the nearby 19th century road bridge are flood lit as is St. Patrick's Church on Barrack Hill above the town. Over 1000 men were employed in he late 1880's during the construction of the rail line from Westport to Achill Island.
