Chenab Bridge—Constructing the World’s Tallest Railway Bridge
The new bridge across the deep gorge of the Chenab River in the remote mountains of Jammu and Kashmir is a key component of the Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project. The bridge is 1315 m long in total. Its main arch with a span of 467 m and land pier heights of up to 131 m place the bridge at an imposing 362 m above the river water level, making it the World’s tallest railway bridge. Although the site location has been carefully chosen, yet the terrain itself is the most difficult from an engineering design and construction point of view. The slopes of the bank are very steep and consist of highly jointed dolomite strata. Extensive slope stabilization analysis was carried out and optimum measures were adopted and implemented successfully for slope stabilization works. The steel superstructure was erected using the incremental launching method. The report briefly highlights the various challenges faced in the project implementation and presents the most salient design aspects.
