An engineering marvel that is a tribute to human ingenuity, the magnificent Chenab Railway Bridge is situated in Jammu's Reasi district, amidst picturesque landscapes.

The bridge, which cost INR 1,486 crore (about USD 190 million) to build, will last for 120 years. Over 1,300 laborers and 300 civil engineers worked nonstop to finish the arch bridge. The Chenab Railway Bridge is significant historically and culturally in addition to being useful. It is a monument to the unwavering spirit of those who dreamed up and constructed it, overcoming hardships with unwavering resolve.
