New Delhi. Railways are presenting new records every day. In this series, the railway is building the world's tallest railway bridge in North East India (Railway Construction Tolst Bridge in North East). Which will increase the pride of the North East. The height of this bridge will be about 141 meters. Currently, Europe has a 139-meter-high railway bridge, named the world's highest rail bridge. But, once this bridge is built, the title will be taken away from it. Railways is going to spend around Rs 280 crore on this bridge.
Talking about Northeast India, at present only Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Tripura are connected by rail route. Also, there is not much railway expansion in Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Sikkim and Nagaland.
A new line is being laid between Jiribam-Tupul-Imphal to connect the capitals of these five states by rail. A 141 meter high bridge is being built in Manipur on this line. The length of this bridge is 703 meters. Let me tell you, 45 tunnels will be built on the Jiribam-Tupul-Imphal route. Its construction is expected to be completed by 2022. Railway Minister Piyush Goyal has tweeted in a video that construction work is going on fast here. It is expected to be completed soon.
