Vembanad Rail Bridge, Railway bridge in Kochi, India
The Vembanad Rail Bridge stretches 4.62 kilometers across Vembanad Lake, connecting Edappally to Vallarpadam Terminal through three small islands.
Construction of the bridge started in June 2007 and was completed in March 2010, replacing traditional boat transportation across the Vembanad Lake.
The bridge takes its name from Vembanad Lake, where local communities organize the annual Nehru Trophy Snake Boat Race.
The railway infrastructure accommodates fifteen trains daily and facilitates goods transportation between coastal areas and major urban centers.
Engineers installed pile foundations at 133 locations, reaching depths of 55 meters to support the bridge structure over water.
