The
Pamban Bridge is a cantilever bridge on the Palk Strait connects
Rameswaram on Pamban Island to mainland India. It refers to both the
road bridge and the cantilever railway bridge, though primarily it means
the latter. It was India's first sea bridge. It is the second longest
sea bridge in India (after Bandra-Worli Sea Link) at a length of about
2.3 km. The rail bridge is for the most part, a conventional bridge
resting on concrete piers, but has a double leaf bascule section midway,
which can be raised to let ships and barges pass through.
