This strategic design ensures both structural stability and the ability to withstand challenging terrain and environmental conditions, reinforcing the bridge’s importance in enhancing regional connectivity and development.Designed to withstand complex geological and climatic challenges of the region, the bridge spans difficult hilly terrain and deep valleys.“The successful completion of its superstructure launching reflects the dedication, innovation and engineering excellence of the teams involved, working tirelessly in one of the most challenging environments in India,” Sharma said.The Jiribam-Imphal project is one of the crucial connectivity projects for the Northeast. The section from Jiribam to Khongsang was commissioned in September 2022. Spanning over 55.36 km, this section operates regular goods trains to Khongsang.“As the project further advances, the Khongsang-Noney (18.25 km) and the Noney-Imphal (37.02 km) sections are scheduled to be commissioned in the coming years. Upon completion, the Jiribam-Imphal railway line will transform connectivity in Manipur, driving economic growth and regional development,” Sharma added.
