New Delhi: Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw posted some photos of the new Pamban bridge in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. This is the first vertical lift railway sea bridge of India and it will be operational by March, next year.
The new 2-kilometer-long bridge will replace the present 104-year-old structure that connects the Arabian Sea island of Rameswaram to the mainland. The bridge will feature a 63-meter span that will lift vertically to allow small ships to sail over. We can see employees and machinery stationed at the site under a clear, blue sky in the photographs posted by the Railway Minister.
