India is puttingthe final touches to the world’s highest rail bridge in Kashmir that was first attempted by the British in 1898. The arched project will dwarf the Eiffel Tower in Paris and a lofty Chinese bridge which now holds the world title.
The government has not announced a date for its completion but it is likely to be ready by December before tracks are laid on the bridge, built 359 metres above Chenab River which flows through Kashmir into Pakistan.
