Jammu Kashmir News: The world's highest rail bridge has been completed on the Chenab river in Jammu and Kashmir. The country's first cable-stayed bridge, Anji Khadd Rail Bridge, has been built just 13 kilometers away from the Chenab Bridge. The cable-stayed bridge built on Anji, a tributary of Chenab, is an unmatched example of technology and Indian engineering skills.

The height of the cable-stayed bridge is equal to the Eiffel Tower of France. The Anji Khad Rail Bridge, which stands on just one pillar, has been built on cable technology. The trial run of the Anji Khad Rail Bridge has been completed.

After its inauguration next month, the railways have made preparations to run trains regularly. The cable-stayed bridge is located near Reasi railway station. It is the country's first rail bridge built using cable technology. The beautiful and unique bridge built on the Anji river is 725 meters long. The Anji Khad rail bridge has been built in three parts. A 473 meter part is on cable technology.

The bridge has been constructed with the help of 96 cables. The Anji Khad rail bridge constructed under the Udhampur-Budgam-Srinagar rail project has been constructed at a cost of Rs 550 crore.

Cable-stayed bridge amidst beautiful valleys

Anji Khadd Rail Bridge has been built at a height of 331 meters above the river surface. A space of about four meters has been left on both sides of the single line track. Tourists can park two cars on one side. A road several kilometers long had to be constructed to build this unique cable bridge amidst the beautiful valleys of the mountains.

The trial run of trains has been completed on the first Anji Khadd rail bridge based on cable technology in the country. A few days ago, Vande Bharat train has also successfully conducted the trial.

Assessing the strength of trucks by parking them

The strength has also been assessed by parking overloaded trucks on both sides. The cable-stayed bridge will not be affected by storms and earthquakes. The Railway Safety Commissioner has given clearance to the bridge.
