Chenab Rail Bridge Opens to Tourists as Train Speeds Increase in Jammu and Kashmir
The Chenab Rail Bridge in Jammu and Kashmir, the world's highest railway bridge, is set to become a new tourist attraction with viewing platforms and an engineering museum. Part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link, it enhances all-weather connectivity and reduces travel time between Jammu and Srinagar. The recent increase in train speeds on the Katra-Banihal section to 100 kmph further improves travel efficiency. Passengers report the Vande Bharat Express offers a safer, more comfortable alternative to road travel in the region's challenging terrain.
