Chenab Bridge Inauguration: World's Highest Railway Arch Set to Transform Kashmir's Connectivity
On June 6, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Chenab Bridge in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district. Standing at 359 meters above the Chenab River, this 1,315-meter-long steel arch bridge surpasses the Eiffel Tower by 35 meters, making it the world's highest railway bridge.
As part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL), the bridge connects Kashmir to the rest of India via rail for the first time. Designed to withstand earthquakes, high-speed winds up to 260 km/h, and extreme temperatures, it boasts a projected lifespan of 120 years.
The inauguration also includes the launch of the Katra-Srinagar Vande Bharat Express, reducing travel time between the two cities from 6–7 hours by road to approximately 3 hours by train. This development is expected to boost tourism and economic growth in the region.
The Chenab Bridge stands as a testament to India's engineering excellence and commitment to enhancing national connectivity.
