The Indian Railways is creating the highest pier RAILWAY bridge in the world in Manipur.
Highlights:
The grand scheme of the Railways in Manipur is part of the Jiribam-Imphal railway line.
This will ultimately be part of a new broad gauge line being constructed to connect the northeastern state with the rest of the country.
The tallest pier bridge account is currently owned by a 139-metre high Mala-Rijeka viaduct built at Montenegro in Europe.
The bridge is being constructed at a height of 141 metres. The total length of the Manipur bridge will be 703 metres.
Once finished, the project will allow passengers to cover 111 km of distance in 2-2.5 hrs.
