They were built by Miller, Blackie and Shortedge, and carried the [[Great Central Railway]] to Manchester across the canal, roads and the River Don at The Wicker.<ref>{{harvnb |Rennison |1996 |pp=200β201}}</ref> The 27 southern arches are wider than the 12 to the north of the Wicker, as [[Sheffield Victoria railway station]] was built on them. The arch that takes the railway over the Don has stone abutments and a lattice girder span which was made in the late 19th century.<ref>{{NHLE |num=1270747 |desc=Wicker Arches |access-date=19 July 2013}}</ref> The [[Cobweb Bridge]] is suspended from this span.
