Train crossing pamban bridge/
The Pamban Railway Bridge, built across the Polk Strait, connects mainland India with Pamban Island. The Pamban Bridge was opened on February 24, 1914. This structure is one of the most dangerous in the world. The length of the bridge is 2065 meters. The bridge is located in a very aggressive environment, with strong winds constantly blowing here. As soon as the wind force exceeds 58 kilometers per hour, a red traffic light comes on and trains stop moving. The piers, on which the rails are laid, rise only a few meters above the water. They are almost invisible when the water level rises during severe storms.
