Jammu, Jan 08: The Chenab Rail Bridge, touted as the world’s tallest railway bridge at 359 meters, is nearing completion. Located between Bakkal and Kauri villages in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi District, the bridge spans the Chenab River, providing a vital link for the region.
After a two-decade wait since its approval in 2003, the bridge faced delays due to stability concerns. However, the construction contract was awarded in 2008. Trains are expected to start operating on this ‘world’s highest rail bridge’ in 2024, covering a length of 1.3 km.
Overcoming obstacles, track laying began in February 2023, and the Chenab Rail Bridge is now entering its operational phase. Part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link Project, this Rs 35,000 crore initiative aims to enhance connectivity in Jammu and Kashmir.
Designed to withstand winds at speeds up to 260 kmph and with a lifespan of 120 years, the bridge is a significant achievement in Indian civil engineering. Locals are optimistic about its positive impact on the economy and express gratitude to the government for this transformative project.
The Chenab Rail Bridge, breaking height records, signifies resilience and dedication, showcasing progress and engineering excellence.
