Vande Bharat Express: Built at a cost of approximately Rs 1,400 crore, the Chenab Rail Bridge was the biggest civil engineering challenge faced by any railway project in India in recent history.
Vande Bharat: The world’s highest rail bridge has been built on the Chenab River in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir. The height of this bridge is 359 meters (1178 feet). This bridge is taller than the famous Eiffel Tower of Paris. Due to the construction of this bridge, the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link will also look more beautiful. Soon Vande Bharat and Vande Metro trains will be seen running on this route. It is believed that PM Modi can flag off the train before the Lok Sabha elections. Due to the high height of the railway bridge, sometimes clouds are visible below and in such a situation, when Vande Bharat will run, it will be a sight to behold.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav had said in the month of October that Kashmir is soon going to get Vande Bharat Express train on Jammu-Srinagar route. Vaishnav had said, “Jammu to Srinagar railway line will be completed soon and Vande Bharat will also be run on it.” The Railway Minister further said that the trains have been designed in a unique way so that they can withstand extreme temperatures and altitudes. Can walk easily.
Recently, the Railway Ministry has allotted eight coaches of Vande Bharat train, which will soon run on the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link. Jammu-Srinagar Vande Bharat train will be the second Vande Bharat train for Jammu and Kashmir and the first to reach Kashmir. Actually, at present, Vande Bharat train is being operated from New Delhi to Katra, which greatly benefits the devotees visiting Maa Vaishno Devi.
The USBRL project will connect Kashmir Valley with the rest of the country. Built at a cost of approximately Rs 1,400 crore, the Chenab Rail Bridge was the biggest civil engineering challenge faced by any railway project in India in recent history.
The world’s highest single-arch railway bridge was inaugurated on August 13 this year. Bridge construction was approved in 2004, but was delayed due to poor weather conditions. Designed by a software called Tekla, high-grade steel has been used in this bridge which can withstand temperatures ranging from minus-10 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius. Apart from this, it can also withstand earthquake of eight magnitude.
