However, in September 2008, the project was halted due to fears over the bridge&#8217;s stability and safety. Work on the bridge restarted in 2010, with the plan to complete it in 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The design and construction was awarded to\u00a0Afcons Infrastructure,\u00a0a part of the\u00a0Shapoorji Pallonji Group, the third-largest construction group in India, with the help of\u00a0IISc Bangalore. Major construction decisions were taken by\u00a0Konkan Railway Corporation. The\u00a0Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) helped in the design of the bridge, making it blast-proof using special steel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The erection scheme for the bridge is a project in itself. Two pylons (about 130 m and 100 m high) were erected on either side of the river, and two auxiliary self-propelled cable cranes (capacity of 20 tonnes each) were used to tow temporary auxiliary ropes across these pylons. The ropes were used to support the partly finished arch parts. After arch completion, the trusses will be added, finally the girder will be constructed as a horizontal sliding type platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span id=\"m_-6500359019931673587m_3265690410961494688m_5840980787188745033gmail-Project_status\">Project status<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jul 2017:\u00a0Construction work resumed on the bridge.<\/li>\n<li>Nov 2017:\u00a0The work bridge&#8217;s arch is was expected to be completed By May 2019.<\/li>\n<li>Nov 2018:\u00a0The bridge is now under active construction.<\/li>\n<li>Dec 2018:\u00a0The project was expected to be completed by the end of 2019, but at this time, it seems unlikely.<\/li>\n<li>Aug 2019:\u00a080% of construction work has been completed on the bridge, and is expected to be opened in mid-2020.<\/li>\n<li>Nov 2019:\u00a083% work has been completed on the bridge, and is now expected to be opened in March 2021.<\/li>\n<li>Jan 2020:\u00a0It is now expected to be opened in December 2021.<\/li>\n<li>April 2021:\u00a0Work on both the ends of the bridge&#8217;s arch is finally completed.

The boxes will be stuffed with concrete to improve stability.<br \/>\nThe arch of the Chenab River bridge weighs 10,619MT.<br \/>\nA first in the Indian Railways history, the members of the arch were erected by using overhead cable cranes.<br \/>\nThe construction of the Chenab River Rail Bridge involved the usage of 28,660 Meta Tons of steel.<br \/>\nFor structural detailing of the Chenab River bridge, Tekla software has been used.<br \/>\nList of Contractors Involved in the Chenab River Project<br \/>\nBelow is the list of the contractors who were actively involved with the Chenab River Project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Department Name of Project Contractor<br \/>\nFoundation Protection Designer Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore<br \/>\nSlope Stability Analysis Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi<br \/>\nExecuting Agency Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd.<br \/>\nSeismic Analysis Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi &amp; Roorkee<br \/>\nProof Consultant for Foundation and Foundation Protection M\/s COWI, UK<br \/>\nArch Designer M\/s Leonhart, Andra and Partners (Germany)<br \/>\nViaduct and Foundations Designer M\/s WSP (Finland)<br \/>\nExecuting Agency Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd.<br \/>\nChallenges Faced while constructing the Chenab Railway Bridge<br \/>\nHere are the challenges faced while constructing the Chenab Railway Bridge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The rugged and mountainous Himalayan terrain posed a threat to the construction of the Chenab Rail Bridge. 900 metres tall cable cranes were installed on both sides of the Chenab gorge to build the arch of the bridge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At such a high altitude, the bridge construction was festered with winds up to 50-60 kmph. The construction work was also hampered because of frequent and unprecedented rains, thunderstorms, landslides and snowfall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is why assembling the arch showcased the great work projection of the engineering skill.<br \/>\nWork on the arch construction started back in 2005. It was only finally linked after 16 years in March 2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Analysis for tunnel construction and earthquake also posed a challenge due to the persisting winds and the treacherous terrain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Never Seen before view from Crown of Arch of Chenab Bridge<\/p>\n<p><strong>INFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div
