Hi Doug,
Depending on the effect you want to achieve with the arches/viaduct have you thought of building up the structure with wood or card and then using plasticard embossed sheet the arches cut out with a compass cutter and rule it wll give a convincing surface but the inside of the arches will need some careful work toward the front edges to get the right look where the surfaces meet.
Its a good easy way to create a curve and any joins can be covered with a buttress like support, or drainage piping to add more interest, sure i have a picture of a type like it try and post it when found.
