RVNL floats tender for dismantling Scherzer lift span of Pamban bridge

|August 24, 2025
RAIL Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) floated a special tender, valued at ₹2.81 crore, earlier this week for dismantling the century-old Scherzer's Rolling and Lift Span of the old Pamban railway bridge.
The dismantling work is expected to be completed in four months once the tender process, scheduled for conclusion by September, is finalised, said officials.
The project involves cutting and dismantling the movable and fixed portions of the lift span—the horizontal section that raises to provide clearance for vessels to pass through—into manageable sections, transporting the components to designated sites in Mandapam and Pamban, and handing them over to the railway department.
