New Delhi: The Pamban railway bridge, India’s first vertical-lift bridge connecting the country’s mainland with Rameswaram Island, will become operational very soon, Railway Board chairperson Jaya Varma Sinha has said.
Varma, who recently visited Rameswaram to review the progress of the work, told PTI on Thursday, “The re-construction work is going very well and we will be restoring the services very soon.”
“Our people have done a commendable job considering the multiple challenges that they have been facing in the bridge re-construction. Building a vertical-lift bridge, which is the first-of-its-kind in the country, on the sea which tends to get very rough is a very challenging task,” the Railway Board chairperson and chief executive officer (CEO) said.
