The construction of the bridge started in 2004. It is a concrete arch bridge between Bakkal and Kauri in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir . The bridge forms a crucial link in the 111-km stretch from Katra to Banihal. This bridge is 1315m long. It is arguably the biggest civil engineering challenge faced by the Indian Railway in the recent history. The most sophisticated “Tekla” software is used for structural detailing.
