This 1,315-metre-long steel arch bridge has been engineered to withstand seismic & wind conditions

- SP SHARMA

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated the Chenab Bridge, the world's highest and the country's first cable-stayed bridge at Anji and also flagged off two maiden Vande Bharat trains to Baramulla thereby fulfilling the nearly 150 years old dream of the Dogra rulers to link the Kashmir valley with rail.

Underlining that generations in J-K had long dreamt of railway connectivity, Modi said that dream has today become a reality.

The architectural marvel Chenab Rail Bridge, situated at a height of 359 metres above the river, is the world's highest railway arch bridge on the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL). It is a 1,315-metre-long steel arch bridge engineered to withstand seismic and wind conditions.
