Chenab Bridge: Engineering Wonder Taller Than Eiffel Tower The Chenab Railway Bridge stands at an awe-inspiring height of 359 metres above the Chenab River, making it 35 metres taller than the Eiffel Tower. Located between Bakkal and Kauri in the Reasi district, this arch bridge spans 1,315 metres and uses a 467-metre steel arch as its centerpiece. As part of the Katra–Sangaldan stretch of the USBRL, the bridge provides uninterrupted rail connectivity to the Kashmir Valley for the first time in Indian history, revolutionizing transport and integration in the region.
