The Pamban Bridge is being compared to famous ones like the Golden Gate Bridge in the USA, Tower Bridge in the UK, and the Oresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden.

Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu – Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the New Pamban Bridge on Sunday, a significant milestone in India’s infrastructure development. This state-of-the-art vertical-lift sea bridge, India’s first of its kind, connects Rameswaram Island to mainland India, promising to revolutionize transportation and maritime activities in the region.

The new Pamban Bridge, a 2.08-kilometer engineering marvel, replaces the century-old structure and is designed to meet the growing transportation demands while enhancing maritime navigation. Its key feature is a 72.5-meter vertical lift span that can rise up to 17 meters, allowing larger ships to pass through the Palk Strait.

During the inauguration ceremony, Prime Minister Modi highlighted the bridge’s significance in boosting regional connectivity and economic growth. He also emphasized the advanced engineering techniques and durable materials used in its construction, ensuring a long lifespan and minimal maintenance.

The bridge’s features include:

• A vertical lift span for seamless maritime traffic.
• Construction with corrosion-resistant materials for durability in the harsh marine environment.
• A design that accommodates dual rail tracks, with current operation on a single line.
• Increased height compared to the old bridge, improving sea connectivity.

The new Pamban Bridge is expected to significantly improve access to Rameswaram, a major pilgrimage destination, and facilitate smoother transportation of goods and people.

The inauguration event also included the flagging off of the Rameswaram-Tambaram train, further signifying the increased connectivity the new bridge provides.
