The construction of the world’s highest cable-supported single-arch bridge on the Chenab River faced numerous challenges including difficult terrain and a lengthy legal struggle. The project faced public interest litigations questioning its alignment, cost, and methodology, which slowed progress until the Supreme Court ruling in 2016 allowed construction to proceed at full capacity.
