What is this passing over Shoreditch High Street? A former railway
viaduct?

No longer 'former'. It was refurbished a few years ago as part of the
advance works, and the reopened East London Line uses it.


Is it too early to call it 'reopened'?
(It's currently being tested with new trains; the route is due to re-
open for public use in the next couple of months.)

The 'Multimap' aerial view shows it refurbished, and the adjacent viaducts
ready for track laying...


As seen he

The Google Street View image appears to show it post-refurbishment:
