India’s first cable-stayed rail bridge at Reasi completes construction

03 May 2023 CW Team

Ashwini Vaishnaw, the railway minister, tweeted, “In 11 months, India's first cable-stayed rail bridge (Anji Khad) is ready" along with a video of the finished structure. The 653 km long cable strand that was used to build the bridge has total length. Another significant development for the Udhampur- Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), which is expected to be finished by the end of this year, is the completion of Anji Khad bridge which has a single pylon that rises 331 metres above the riverbed.

Anji Khad Bridge and the nearby iconic Chenab Bridge were among the key locations where the USBRL project was recently inspected by Minister of State for Railways Darshana Vikram Jardosh, who called its completion another milestone, despite challenging geographic circumstances. "I went to the bridge site and thanked everyone for completing the installation of the bridge's 96 cables in a record-breaking 11 months. This asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge spans the Anji River's deep gorges, which is a branch of the Chenab River,” she said.

According to Jardosh, the bridge links Tunnel T3 on the Reasi side with Tunnel T2 on the Katra side.

"The Prime Minister's goal has always been to make Indian railways the greatest in the world. Our engineers and railway authorities have overcome insurmountable obstacles brought on by geography and climate,” the minister declared. The bridge, which has been called a "true engineering marvel," has 48 cables on each of its lateral and central spans, and construction on its pylon began in 2017, according to officials. The pylon is 191 metres above the ground.

According to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, construction on the nation's first cable-stayed railway bridge at Anji Khad in Jammu & Kashmir's Reasi district is completed. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is closely watching the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL), which will offer train connectivity between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of the country, praised the bridge’s completion.
