Q111 (CDS-I/2026) Geography › Indian Economic Geography

Which one of the following statements about the bridges of India is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

Statement D is incorrect because the New Pamban Bridge is India's first vertical lift sea bridge, not an arch bridge. Replacing the century-old cantilever bridge, it features a 72.5-meter span that lifts vertically to allow ships to pass through.

  • Atal Setu: Also known as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), it is India's longest sea bridge, spanning approximately 21.8 km.
  • Chenab Bridge: Located in Jammu & Kashmir, it stands 359 meters above the river bed, making it the world's highest railway arch bridge, surpassing the Eiffel Tower in height.
  • Bhupen Hazarika Setu: Also known as the Dhola-Sadiya Bridge, it is a 9.15 km long beam bridge spanning the Lohit River, a major tributary of the Brahmaputra, connecting Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
