Trial run completes laying track over Pamban rail bridge

Trial run was conducted on the new Pamban rail bridge, signalling the completion of the railway track over the sea connecting Mandapam and Pamban railway stations. The track laying work along the full 2.08 km stretch of the bridge has been finished, and a tower wagon was successfully operated between the two stations.

Following the successful installation of the 72.5-metre vertical lift span on July 26, Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) proceeded with the installation of the remaining four girders. A senior official indicated that all track laying work has been completed and the continuity of the track was verified through the trial run. The remaining task involves making the vertical lift span operational. The official explained that work is now focused on the electro-mechanical operation of the lift, which will be raised by 17 metres to allow ships to pass underneath.

Southern Railway has proposed that the bridge be commissioned by the end of September, with RVNL planning to complete the remaining works by August 31.
