The
Pamban
Bridge,
also
known
as
the
Pamban
Rail
Bridge,
is
a
railway
bridge
that
connects
the
town
of
Rameshwaram
on
Pamban
Island
to
the
Indian
mainland.
It
is
located
in
the
southern
Indian
state
of
Tamil
Nadu.
The
bridge
is
considered
an
engineering
marvel
and
was
constructed
in
1914.
At
the
time
of
its
construction,
it
was
the
longest
and
highest
bridge
in
India.
The
bridge
is
2.3
kilometers
long
and
stands
at
a
height
of
22
meters
above
sea
level.
The
bridge
has
143
pillars
and
is
a
cantilever
bridge,
which
means
that
it
is
supported
by
a
series
of
horizontal
beams
rather
than
cables.
The
bridge's
design
allows
it
to
withstand
the
high-speed
winds
and
cyclones
that
are
common
in
the
region.
It
has
become
a
popular
tourist
attraction
due
to
its
stunning
views
of
the
Indian
Ocean
and
the
surrounding
islands.
The
bridge
also
offers
a
unique
experience
for
train
travelers
as
the
train
passes
over
the
bridge
while
offering
scenic
views
of
the
sea
and
the
surrounding
landscape.
It
is
a
significant
landmark
in
southern
India
and
an
impressive
feat
of
engineering.
It
is
a
must-visit
destination
for
anyone
interested
in
engineering,
architecture,
and
natural
beauty
