[1] The viaduct crosses Church Street and the young River Nene in Weedon Bec, on the outskirts of the village.

The viaduct is almost immediately north of Stowe Hill Tunnel near the Watford Gap, where the railway, canal, and ancient and modern roads all take a similar path.

Shortly beyond the viaduct, Church Road passes through a low tunnel under the Grand Union Canal.
