India’s First Lift Sea Bridge
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the iconic New Pamban Bridge, India’s first vertical-lift sea bridge, in Tamil Nadu. This cutting-edge infrastructure marvel enhances both road and rail connectivity between Rameswaram and the mainland. As part of the event, PM Modi also flagged off a new train service from Rameswaram to Chennai, aiming to boost tourism and streamline travel across the region. The vertical-lift design allows ships to pass beneath, combining innovation with strategic utility. This historic launch marks a significant milestone in India’s coastal infrastructure development.
