Explanation
Both statements are correct. The New Pamban Bridge, connecting Mandapam on the mainland to Rameswaram on Pamban Island, is India's first vertical lift railway sea bridge. It replaces the century-old cantilever bridge built in 1914. The bridge features a 72.5-metre-long central navigational span that can be raised vertically by 17 metres to allow ships to pass underneath. The project was executed by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), which is a Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) under the Ministry of Railways. RVNL was upgraded from 'Miniratna' to 'Navratna' status by the Government of India in April 2023, granting it greater financial and operational autonomy. The bridge is approximately 2.07 km long and is designed to support future double-line tracks and electrification.
