"USBRL Project 2024: Major Milestones & Latest Updates on India's Himalayan Rail Link"
Description:
Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project as it achieves significant milestones in 2024. Discover the progress on the longest escape tunnel, new tunnel breakthroughs, and how this ambitious project by Indian Railways is bringing the Kashmir valley closer to the rest of the country. Stay informed about the engineering challenges and the innovative solutions implemented to overcome them.
The Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project, aimed at connecting Kashmir to the Indian rail network, is divided into several phases. Each phase tackles different sections and features of the railway link, addressing unique geographical and engineering challenges. Here are the main phases:
1. Udhampur to Katra (25 km)
This phase includes the stretch from Udhampur to Katra. It was completed and became operational in 2014. This section includes several tunnels and bridges due to the rugged terrain.
2. Katra to Banihal (111 km)
This phase is the most challenging and includes the construction of the Chenab Bridge, the world's highest railway bridge, and several long tunnels including Tunnel T-1 and T-49. The Katra-Reasi section and the Reasi-Sangaldan section are part of this phase. Key features include:
Chenab Bridge: An engineering marvel, the highest railway bridge in the world.
Tunnel T-1: A significant breakthrough achieved recently
Reasi-Sangaldan Section: Ongoing developments to connect this crucial section.
3. Banihal to Qazigund (18 km):
This section is characterized by the Pir Panjal tunnel, which is 11.215 km long and is the longest railway tunnel in India. This section was completed and inaugurated in 2013.
4. Qazigund to Baramulla (119 km):
This section is operational and includes several important towns and cities in the Kashmir Valley. It was completed in phases, with the entire stretch becoming operational by 2009
5 Katra Reasi section: Expected completion 2024
These phases together represent a significant feat of engineering and will greatly enhance connectivity and economic development in the region.
