The Chenab Rail Bridge will be the world’s tallest railway arch bridge once completed. After being in construction for decades, this bridge in the northern state of Jammu and Kashmir will open to visitors by the end of 2023 or in early 2024.
About 35m (114ft) higher than the Eiffel Tower and spanning 359m (1,178ft) above the Chenab river bed in the Himalayas, it is supposed to surpass the record of the Beipan River Shuibai railway bridge in China.
