Both of them used for the same purpose (I think) then what is the structural difference between them?

Well, a viaduct is expressly for transporting water!
The Romans used them extensively to bring fresh water to their cities.

from Wikipedia: A viaduct is a bridge composed of several small spans. The term viaduct is derived from the Latin via for road and ductus to conduct something. However the Ancient Romans did not use that term per se, it is a modern derivation from an analogy with aqueduct. Like the Roman aqueducts, many early viaducts comprised a series of arches of roughly equal length. Viaducts may span land or water.
