feat. It is based on 28 bow string arch girders with equal spans of 97.5 m, thus
making the total length 2,730 m. The bridge is fit for 250 km/h rail services. It
was commissioned by South Central Railway on 11 March 1997. The bridge links East

this bridge has 56 spans and is 2.754 km long. It was constructed with stone masonry
and steel girders and certainly a marvel of British engineering.
