Viaduct means an elevated road. The word via is Latin for way, street or road, hence the English "We went via Birmingham in the end .."

An aquaduct is for raised waterways ...

Norman Foster designed it - he was the architect and I know which country it's in but I can't remember the region or the actual location.
Always fancied driving across it one day though - preferably one clear but slightly cloudy day ;)

You are of course right re viaduct and about the clear but slightly cloudy day... it would be an amazing sight.

Now looked it up, vaguely remember it been built but didn't really have a clue with the name.

Brooklyn

Beckham's son
Warriors are the NBA team

The other three could be many places in the US

Brooklyn is correct for the Beckham part but the location we are looking for is more specific.

The other 4 answers will help.
