Launch of Fabricated Lift Span

One of the key highlights of the project is the fabrication and launch of the lift span. Out of the total length of 428 meters, 200 meters of the lift span has already been successfully launched, marking a significant advancement in the construction process.

Purpose of the New Bridge

Several factors necessitated the construction of the new Pamban Bridge. The existing bridge, serving for over a century, has reached the end of its operational life. Issues such as corrosion of the Scherzer Span and speed restrictions due to maintenance works have prompted the decision for a new, modernized structure.

Salient Features and Benefits

The new Pamban Bridge boasts impressive features, including a navigational lift span, 99 spans of 18.3 meters each, and one span of 72.5 meters. Anticipated to cost Rs. 550 crore, the bridge will span over 2.08 kilometers, offering improved clearance for larger ships and modern engineering for enhanced durability.
