Pamban Railway Bridge in Rameswaram: Key points, features of India’s first vertical-lift bridge
India’s first vertical-lift bridge – the Pamban Railway Bridge – facilitating the connection between the mainland and Rameswaram Island, is set to commence operations soon, as declared by Railway Board Chairperson Jaya Varma Sinha earlier this week.
The new Pamban bridge is a breathtaking marvel. The new Pamban bridge is under construction alongside the old Pamban bridge, overseen by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited, with an estimated expenditure of Rs 535 crore.
