Coming Soon: World’s highest railway bridge over Chenab, taller than Eiffel Tower & cost Rs. 1,100 crore
In two years from now, India is going to be the owner of world’s highest railway bridge over Chenab river. "The construction of the bridge is the most challenging part of the Kashmir rail link project and once completed, it will be an engineering marvel," said a senior Railway Ministry official involved with the project. The Railways will also install sensors on the bridge to check the wind velocity: as soon as the wind speed exceeds 90 kmph, the signal on the track will turn red, preventing train movement. In order to enhance safety and security, the bridge will be made of 63mm thick special blast-proof steel as the Jammu and Kashmir region is prone to frequent terror attacks.
