Indian Railways will soon connect Jammu & Kashmir to the rest of India! The national transporter is executing the extremely challenging Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramula Rail link Project, also called the USBRL in Jammu & Kashmir. The last 111 kilometres long stretch of the USBRL project includes the crucial Chenab river bridge – the world’s highest railway bridge, and the Anji Khad bridge which is Indian Railways’ first cable-stayed bridge. We take a look at some stunning images and facts about Indian Railways’ USBRL project that make it special:
The USBRL project comprises 272 kilometres long railway lines in J&K and the first two phases of the project – Quazigund to Baramulla and Quazigund to Banihal are already open. The last section between Katra-Banihal is expected to be ready in the first half of 2024.
