Located in Jammu and Kashmir, the Chenab Bridge holds the distinction of being the world’s highest railway bridge, standing taller than the Eiffel Tower and forming a vital part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL)
Spanning a total length of 1,315 meters across the Chenab River, the bridge is not only an engineering marvel but also a symbol of connectivity and progress in the region
Equipped with advanced engineering and safety features, the Chenab Bridge has been meticulously designed to endure some of the most extreme environmental conditions
It is capable of withstanding high-intensity earthquakes, thanks to a robust seismic design tailored for the geologically sensitive Himalayan region
The inauguration marks a significant milestone in India’s infrastructure development and promises enhanced accessibility and economic growth for Jammu and Kashmir
