Chenab Bridge Inauguration: A record-breaking engineering marvel in Jammu & Kashmir

Taller than the Eiffel Tower

The elevation of the bridge is around 1,178 feet, making it taller than from Eiffel Tower.

Key component of USBRL project

The bridge is a significant part of the Udhampur-Baramulla Rail Link, which aims to provide connectivity with the Kashmir Valley through the railway network.

Structure can withstand harsh weather

The design of the bridge can stand up to extreme temperatures, high speeds, and intense earthquakes.

Faster travel

Once the bridge becomes operational, it will lessen the travel time between Jammu and Srinagar, particularly with the new Vande Bharat Express.

Around 14,000 crore has been used in the making of this world's highest arch bridge.
