Pamban Bridge

Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu, India
The Pamban Bridge is an iconic landmark and an engineering marvel. It consists of two parallel bridges: a road bridge and a railway bridge. The railway bridge was India's first sea bridge and opened in 1914. The adjacent road bridge was completed in 1988. Both bridges run parallel to each other, of fering stunning views of the Palk Strait and the surrounding islands. The railway bridge is particularly unique as it has a Scherzer rolling lift span section in the middle, which can be raised to allow the passage of ships and boats. Watching this lift span operate is a fascinating experience. Driving or taking a train across the Pamban Bridge is an experience in itself, with the vast expanse of the sea on both sides. There are viewpoints at the beginning and end of the bridge on the mainland side where you can stop and take photographs. The bridge is a vital link for Rameshwaram, connecting it to the rest of Tamil Nadu. The sight of trains and vehicles traversing the sea is truly captivating.
