The Chenab Bridge, part of the Udhampur Srinagar Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) Project, spans the Chenab River gorge in Jammu and Kashmir. It stands as the world's highest steel arch rail bridge, towering over the Chenab River at a height of 359 meters (approximately 1,178 feet), surpassing even the height of the Eiffel Tower. This engineering marvel by Indian Railways is a crucial link that will connect the Kashmir Valley to the national railway network, demonstrating significant progress in infrastructure development despite challenging geology, topography, and weather conditions.
