Rail traffic on old Pamban bridge permanently stopped. Southern Railway has permanently stopped rail traffic on the old Pamban rail bridge owing to “safety concerns” regarding the stability of the century-old bridge...“Repairing the exiting bridge, where the corrosion is at a very high level, will take several months. With the new Pamban rail bridge likely to be ready by July, we have planned to short terminate trains at Mandapam railway station”Mr. Ananth said.
