You could do a search in the TS File Library for the Master Bridge Builder-Ron Picardi.
You'll probably find he has already built all the pieces you need to put that bridge together, although you may have to download a few of his packages to get all the pieces.

Any dimensions on this viaduct such as length, height, number of piers? Simple structure otherwise.

That bridge looks very close to the Chines bridge that is included in one of the two object packeges on www.trainsimchina.com (they have an English downloadpage and forum).

Have completed in 2 hours the Ankey Viaduct.
In order to do this as one object, I made the piers square. Round ones would required this to be a four piece object.
Beta copy is attached below. The bridge uses three standard textures. Bridge4s.ace, MRBridge.ace and SRV_ConcretePier.ace

Also, another project completed for another request. Quite an interesting skewed bridge with a one lane road attached to the side. it drove me nuts trying to fix a volume sphere problem with the approaches.
As usual, stock ace files are used for this structure. The raw unfinished span looks great in the route. I asked Jake if he would post a pic from his route once he gets his laptop back from repair.

Attached below are a 400ft and 600ft double track arch span. They use the standard SRV_Bridges4.ace and SRV_Bridge4b.ace texture.
