Chenab Railway Bridge
Soaring 1,177 feet above the Chenab river is the world’s highest single arch railway
bridge, standing 359m above the riverbed - 35m higher than the Eiffel Tower. While
multiple partners were involved in the design of the bridge including IISc-Bangalore
along with key overseas consultants, the lead consortium partner in the JV for
construction was India’s Afcons Infrastructure Limited.
