The Chenab Rail Bridge and Anji Khad Bridge have emerged as key engineering landmarks on the 272-km Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), strengthening all-weather rail connectivity between Kashmir and the rest of India. The completion of the link has enabled passenger trains to reach the Valley while creating new opportunities for transporting agricultural produce, essential supplies and industrial goods. The rail connection is expected to help Kashmiri products, including apples, cherries, dry fruits and handicrafts, reach markets across the country more efficiently. At the same time, goods such as cement, automobiles, foodgrains, salt, fertilisers and milk can be transported to the Valley through the railway network.
