World’s highest rail bridge arch completed on Chenab

全球最高的铁路桥拱桥完工，位于印度杰纳布河上

JAMMU/NEW DELHI: Indian engineers created history on Monday by completing the arch of the world’s highest railway bridge on Chenab river in J&K, which is 35 metres higher than the Eiffel Tower in France. The completion of the blast proof arch now paves the way for expediting the direct rail link to the Valley from the rest of India.

周一，印度工程师完成了查谟克什米尔杰纳布河上世界最高铁路桥的拱桥，创造了历史，该桥比法国埃菲尔铁塔高35米。防爆拱门的完工为加快连接山谷和印度其他地区的直达铁路铺平了道路。

Officials said this was the most challenging project the railways had ever undertaken and the most critical portion of Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link, whose construction started in 2004. Ashutosh Gangal, general manger of Northern Railway, said what currently takes 12 hours by road (Katra-Banihal), will take half the time after completion of the bridge. He said the bridge is likely to be completed in a year and the entire rail link would be completed in two and a half years.

印度官 员们表示，这是印度铁路公司有史以来最具挑战性的项目，也是乌德汗布尔-斯利那加-巴拉穆拉铁路线最关键的部分，该铁路线于2004年开工建设。印度北方铁路公司总经理阿舒托什·冈加尔说，目前从卡特拉到巴尼哈尔走公路需要12个小时，大桥建成后只需一半的时间。他说，大桥可能在一年内完工，而整条铁路将在两年半内建成。

He said the arch consists of steel boxes in which concrete will be filled to improve stability while the stay cables which are presently holding the arch will be removed.

他说，拱架由钢箱组成，填满混凝土以提高稳定性，目前支撑拱架的斜拉索将被拆除。

He said the overall weight of the arch is 10,619 metric tonnes and the arch work was done by overhead cable cranes for the first time by Indian Railways. PM Narendra Modi lauded the achievement and tweeted, “This feat of construction not only showcases the growing prowess of India in the field of modern engineering and technology but also is an example of changing work culture marked by the ethos of ‘sankalp se siddhi’.”

他说，拱桥的总重量为10619吨，这是印度铁路首次使用架空电缆起重机建造拱桥。莫迪总理称赞了这一成就，并在推特上写道:“ 这一壮举展示了印度在现代工程和技术领域不断增长的实力。”

Building of infrastructure was the biggest job that was neglected by the Congress for decades. Modi/BJP are doing it on a priority and double speed basis!

基础设施建设几十年来一直被国大党忽视。而莫迪和人民党优先加快修建基础设施!

Commendable job. Salutes to the whole team ! But the GM's statement that it takes 12hours from Katra to Banihal is absolutely wrong.

值得称道的工作。向整个团队致敬!

We are getting the news in bits and pieces, when the line will finally open and trains start ? This line is supposed to have the world's highest railway station (overtaking some one by quits some distance), and also, if I recall, one railway station within tunnel (which of course isn't unique).

我们得到的消息是零零碎碎的，这条铁路最终什么时候开通，火车什么时候通车?

这条铁路应该建成一座世界上最高的火车站，超过火车站，没记错的话，有一个火车站会建在隧道内
