‘Infrastructure Marble in Making. Indian Railways is on the way to reach another stage of engineering. It will be the tallest railway bridge in the world ‘, said Piyush Goyal.

The rainbow-shaped bridge is one of the most ambitious projects of the railways. This bridge can play a very important role in bringing Kashmir closer to the rest of India.

Work on the bridge started in November 2017. A staggering Rs 1250 crore is being spent for this bridge. The bridge will be 359 meters above the banks of the river Chenab and 35 meters above the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris. Also, the total length of this bridge will be 1315 meters.

According to railway officials, the bridge can withstand an earthquake measuring 8 on the Richter scale or even a high-intensity explosion. The bridge will also have a potential terrorist threat and an earthquake safety system.
