For the first time ever, Srinagar will be linked to the rest of India after the overarch deck on the world’s highest single-arch railway bridge over Chenab River will be launched on August 13.
The 1.315 km long bridge which is being built at a dizzying height of 359 meters is even taller than Eiffel Tower. It will connect the Salal-A and Dugga railway stations on either side of the bridge with the mighty River Chenab in Reasi district.
The bridge is the tallest railway bridge in the world and is being constructed by the Northern Railway at an estimated cost of Rs 28,000 crore as part of the Udhampur Srinagar Baramulla Rail Link Project.
