For illustration purpose only real image may vary


India has unveiled a historic infrastructure marvel — the Chenab Bridge, now recognized as the world's highest railway bridge, built in the stunning landscapes of Jammu and Kashmir. Rising 359 meters above the Chenab River, it surpasses the height of the Eiffel Tower and symbolizes India's engineering excellence.

🏗️ Unmatched Engineering Feat in Jammu

The Chenab Bridge in Jammu is part of the ambitious Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) project. This railway bridge in Kashmir is 1,315 meters long and constructed using 28,000+ metric tonnes of steel. Designed to withstand harsh weather, earthquakes, and wind speeds up to 266 km/h, it represents a major breakthrough in Indian Railways' infrastructure goals.

🌐 Connectivity Boost With Vande Bharat Trains

To mark the occasion, Vande Bharat Express trains will begin running between Katra and Srinagar, drastically cutting down travel time to just 3 hours. The Chenab Railway Bridge makes this possible by connecting previously inaccessible regions, giving a boost to tourism, trade, and economic development in Jammu & Kashmir.

🛡️ Strategic and National Importance

The location of the Chenab Bridge also adds strategic value, improving connectivity in a region critical to national security. The improved rail connectivity in Kashmir helps in the movement of troops, equipment, and also supports long-term peace and integration efforts.

🌍 Why the Chenab Bridge is an Indian Engineering Marvel

This project puts India on the global infrastructure map. As the highest railway bridge in the world, it reflects the potential of Indian engineers and government-backed innovation in tackling difficult terrain with modern design.
