India builds world's highest railway bridge

Description

Jammu, Sep 4 (EFE/EPA).- The world's highest railway bridge is being built across the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district. The bridge is likely to be completed by August 2022. The total length of the rail bridge is 1.3 km and it can withstand an earthquake measuring more than 7 on the Richter scale. The bridge will connect the Kashmir valley with Katra in Jammu and the rest of the country. It will also reduce the journey time by 5-6 hours from Katra to Srinagar.
