Chenab Arch Bridge: World's highest & 30 metres higher than Eiffel Tower

With the completion of its majestic arches, the construction of the iconic Chenab Arch Bridge, which will soar 359 metres above the bed of the river and will be 30 metres higher than the Eiffel Tower in Paris, has reached another milestone. The bridge, which will be the world's highest bridge once completed in December, will provide all-weather connectivity to Kashmir with the rest of the country seamlessly. It is part of an ambitious 272-km rail link project in Kashmir, which is being constructed by the Northern Railway at an estimated cost of Rs 28,000 crore to connect the valley to the rest of the country.
