Chenab bridge, the World’s tallest railway bridge, has caught the attention of the global leaders. The bridge situated in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has been constructed 359 metres (around 109 feet) above the Chenab river. The bridge is about 35 metres taller than the Eiffel Tower of Paris.
Recently, a delegation from the Republic of Maldives paid a notable visit to the site and hailed the iconic engineer marvel. The Maldives’ team headed by Mohamed Aslam, Minister for National Planning, Housing and Infrastructure said, “Very impressed with the development the Indian Railways are bringing to the nation.”
The Chenab bridge is a part of the Udhampur Srinagar Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) Project, a dream project worth Rs 35,000 crore. The USBRL project is nearing completion.
