The new 2.05 km long Pamban railway bridge connecting Rameshwaramisland to the mainland in Tamil Nadu is progressing quickly with 84% of the construction completed.
By March 2023, this cutting-edge bridge, which will be the first vertical lift railway sea bridge in the nation, is anticipated to be finished.
The new bridge’s construction started in November 2019 after Prime Minister NarendraModi placed the first stone in March 2019.
The 63-meter-long bridge will lift while still being parallel to the deck, enabling ships to pass through.
Between Pamban and Rameswaram, the bridge will allow trains to run more quickly, haul more weight, and carry more passengers.
The sea bridge is being executed by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) at a cost of Rs 535 crore.
