Description

Description	The Chenab Rail Bridge is the world’s highest railway bridge, standing 359 meters above the Chenab River. It is part of the Rs 21,653 crore Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project, significantly enhancing rail connectivity between Jammu and Srinagar. The bridge is 1.3 km long, features a main arch span of 460 meters, and has 17 spans in total stretching across 13,115 meters. It is constructed with around 30,000 metric tons of steel and includes 36 tunnels along its length, each equipped with security monitoring. The bridge is designed to withstand powerful wind speeds up to 260 km/h, blasts equivalent to 40 kg of TNT, and earthquakes of magnitude eight. The concrete pillars are coated with corrosion-resistant paint lasting 15 years, and the bridge has an expected lifespan of about 120 years.
