New Landmark: Tamil Nadu To Get India's 1st Vertical Lift Sea Bridge Soon
India's first vertical lift sea bridge at Pamban in southern Tamil Nadu will be opened in January to restore rail connectivity to Rameswaram island from the country's mainland. The 2.08-km-long bridge, constructed by the Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), is expected to allow the Indian Railways to operate trains at a higher speed. It has been built parallel to an existing bridge that was constructed by the British and is believed to be 110 years old.
