On April 6, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the New Pamban Bridge in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu — India's first vertical lift sea bridge. Built at a cost of ₹550 crore, the 2.08 km bridge features 99 spans and a 72.5-meter-long vertical lift span that can rise up to 17 meters, enabling smooth passage for ships while maintaining uninterrupted train movement. Engineered with stainless steel reinforcements and fully welded joints, the bridge promises durability, low maintenance, and future readiness with provision for dual rail tracks. (PC: PTI)
