PM Modi LIVE: PM Modi Inaugurates New Pamban Railway Bridge In Tamil Nadu's Rameswaram | N18L
Two railway stations in Tamil Nadu – Mandapam and Pamban – are close to five kilometres apart and have been connected by trains since 1914 when the Pamban Bridge was built by the British. A couple of trains were crossing the stations daily. But the Pamban Bridge was getting old and couldn’t bear the burden of these trains.
Of the five km distance between the two stations, two kilometres is the length of the Bay of Bengal between the mainland of India and Pamban island. While Mandapam was the last railway station on mainland India, Pamban is a small station situated on Pamban island, which further connects to the Rameswaram railway station.
After serving for more than 100 years, the old Pamban bridge needed rest — for constant repair and maintenance. In 2019, it was decided to build a parallel bridge. But before the new bridge could be built, the old one was announced unfit and was decommissioned in December 2022. The train operations on the bridge remained suspended from December 2022 and all the trains were ending their trips at Mandapam station.
