    Topic- Dimension of two bridges – Pamban Bridge


    and Howrah bridge
    Location of Pamban
    Bridge

    ●
    The Pamban railway bridge spans a
    2.06 km (1.28 mi) wide strait
    between the Indian mainland and
    Rameshwaram Island. The mainland
    end of the bridge is located at
    9°16′56.70″N 79°11′20.12″E. The
    bridge is located in a corrosive
    marine environment, making its
    maintenance a challenging job. The
    location is also a cyclone-prone,
    high-wind-velocity zone

    LOCATION OF THE HOWRAH
    BRIDGE

    ●
    The Howrah Bridge is a balanced steel
    bridge over the Hooghly River in West
    Bengal, India. Commissioned in 1943, the
    bridge was named the New Howrah Bridge,
    because it replaced a pontoon bridge at
    the same location linking the twin cities
    of Howrah and Kolkata, which are located
    at the opposite banks of each other. The
    bridge is one of four on the Hooghly River
    and is a famous symbol of Kolkata and
    West Bengal.

    consists of 143 piers and has a
    double-leaf bascule section with a
    Scherzer rolling type lift span that
    can be raised to let ships pass.
    Each half of the lifting span weighs
    415 tonnes (457 tons).The two
    leaves of the bridge are opened
    manually using levers.

    openings, with a head room of 22
    feet, were also provided for
    smaller crafts. The adjusting ways
    or shore spans, one at each end of
    the bridge, consisted of three 160

    used.
