On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will officially open the Chenab Railway Bridge, the tallest railway arch bridge in the world, which will be a significant milestone in India's infrastructure development. The bridge is a vital component of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project, rising 359 meters over the Chenab River and taller than the Eiffel Tower.
Additionally, at Anji, the Prime Minister will open India's first cable-stayed railway bridge. After more than thirty years of engineering work, the Chenab and Anji bridges finally link the Kashmir Valley with the rest of the nation.
