The Chenab Bridge is an Indian railway steel and concrete arch bridge under construction between Bakkal and Kauri in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir in India. When completed, the bridge will span the Chenab River at a height of 359 m above the river, making it the world's highest rail bridge.

The railway bridge over river Chenab is a key part of this project at 359 meters above the river bed. That’s almost 60 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower! The 1.315 km arch-shaped structure will connect Bakkal (Katra) and Kauri (Srinagar). Over 5,462 tonnes of steel have already been used in construction. It will soon claim the record of the world’s highest bridge beating China’s Shuibai railway bridge over Beipan river at 275 meters.
