The Chenab Bridge over the river chenab in Jammu & Kashmir state of
India will be the world's highest rail bridge ever made(under
construction).It is a type of arch bridge.It spans the
Chenab River between Bakkal and Kauri, in
Reasi district of
Jammu and Kashmir. When completed, the bridge will be 1,263 m (4,144 ft) long,
with a 480 m (1,570 ft) trussed arch span 359 m
(1,178 ft) above the river Chenab and a 650 m (2,130 ft)
long viaduct on the Kauri side.
The Chenab Bridge consists of a number of subbridges and
tunnels which makes up the Katra-Laole Section of the
USBRL Project in
Jammu and Kashmir. Another, smaller, arch bridge in
the link will be the 657 m
(2,156 ft) long, 189 m (620 ft) high Anji Khad bridge
between
Katra and
Reasi.The stability of such a bridge is a daunting task for Indian Government.
