Project Highlights
At the height of 359 m above the river bed of the Chenab river valley, the iconic Chenab bridge is the world’s highest railway bridge.
Once the construction is completed, the bridge will be 35 meters higher than the iconic Eiffel Tower.
The Chenab rail bridge is designed to withstand zone-V earthquakes, 266 km/hr wind speed, and high-intensity blasts.
Built at the cost of INR 1,486 crore (USD 190 million), the bridge will have a lifespan of 120 years.
300 civil engineers and more than 1,300 workers worked 24/7 to complete the arch bridge.


The 1,315 m long and 359 m high Chenab Rail Bridge is the world's highest railway bridge under construction. Designed as an iconic arch bridge, it is a part of the larger mega project to connect the Kashmir valley to the mainstream rail network of the Indian Railways.
