Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of Railways, has tweeted an animated video of Pamban Bridge which will soon connect Rameswaram, a Municipality in Tamil Nadu, with the rest of India. It is parallel to the existing well-known Pamban Bridge (at a 27.35m distance) on the northern side of the Pamban Channel. In February 2020, work started and is expected to complete by the following year. The 72m long vertical lift span will be the talking point of this iconic new bridge. It will allow the lifting of the span (by 17m). As a result, the ships can pass from below the lifted bridge. For a double track, the vertical lift span is being constructed.
