The dream project of Indian Railways to connect Kashmir with Kanayakumari is in final stages as track laying work on world’s highest railway bridge on Chenab in Reasi district has already begun.
The Chenab Rail Bridge is a steel and concrete arch between Bakkal and Kauri and just 42 km from the main Reasi town in the Reasi district of Jammu. The 1.3-kilometre-long bridge, which is 35 metres higher than the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris, forms a crucial link in the vital linkage of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) Project.
“Another milestone in USBRL Project! Track laying work begins on Chenab Bridge. Once completed, this bridge will open up new possibilities for the remote regions of Jammu & Kashmir (sic),” Konkan Railways said in a tweet.
