Chenab Bridge
Overview
Special bridge across the river Chenab is built at height of 359m, from the bed level ( Height of Qutab Minar is 72 m and of Eiffel Tower is 324 m). Chenab Bridge is having the central span of 467 m. When constructed this bridge will qualify for world record for being the highest rail bridge from the river bed. (Currently the world’s tallest rail bridge is located over France’s Tarn River with its tallest pillar rising 340m, with the actual height where the train runs on the bridge being 300 m).The design of bridge also takes care of “Blast” load, which is internationally an unique feature. For construction of Arch portion of the bridge over the river, a novel method of construction using the cable car is designed and commissioned. This cable car runs on 54mm cables laid across the river valley and connected through 127 m high pylons (towers) on either side of river. The consumption of structural steel for the project is very huge and for Chenab Bridge the quantity is of the magnitude of 29,000 MT.
