2.07 km, over Rs 200 crore, and much more: What you need to know about the new Pamban Bridge
Around 84 per cent of work has been completed on India’s first vertical lift railway sea bridge – the new Pamban Bridge, the Ministry of Railways informed on Thursday (1 December).
The 2.07 km long Pamban rail sea bridge in Tamil Nadu will connect the holy Rameswaram on Pamban island to mainland India.
It is also expected to be a boon for pilgrims travelling to Rameswaram and Dhanuskhodi as well as enhance tourism.
Sharing pictures of the architectural marvel, the Railways ministry also said in its tweet that the track laying work is in progress, while the fabrication of the vertical lift span girder is about to be finished. “Assembling platform for vertical lift span on Rameswaram end of the bridge is getting ready,” the ministry added.
