India's First Vertical Lift Bridge

Vertical Lift Bridge

India's First Vertical Lift Bridge
Proposed Vertical Bridge
This is the most fascinating project in India and in the Civil Engineering field. This project was proposed with a rail line that connects the Island of Rameshwaram to India which was earlier connected with Pamban Bridge. This project is cost around 250 crores. This will be a new link which will take place of the current bridge which is around 104 year which connects Pamban island to Tamil Nadu. This is the new and first time being used in India which is a vertical lift bridge.

The Pamban Bridge currently there is a Horizontal Lift Bridge which you can see in the photo below.

Current Pamban Bridge
This will be replaced with a vertical lift Bridge. This was so needed because the Gulf of Mannar is the most used path for the ships to pass through and reach the East side of India. The Bridge is hence required to have a lifting mechanism.
The Bridge part which will be lifted will be 63 meters long. The Bridge is hence magnificent and an important project in Civil Engineering. 
The other project we talked about the rail line above is the rail line project which will be connected to the Dhanushkodi region. This is also estimated to be 200 crore project.

Great Man-Made River (GMR)

Libya's Great Man-Made River: The Great Man-Made River in Libya is one of the most ambitious Civil Engineering projects in the history of mankind.  In the year 1953, the Libyan Government found not only vast oil reserves but also a vast quantity of fresh water locked under the strata. Most of the water was trapped around 7000-30000 years ago, which is divided into 4 different basins. The first basin is named the Kufra basin, which is near the Egyptian border which covering almost 35000 sq kilometers and is quite deep, around 2000 m deep. The other basins are in the Sirte Basin, which covers 10000 sq kilometers, the third in the Murzuk Basin, and the last in the Jabal Fezzan Basin, covering 4800 sq kilometers.  The GMR project will be used to transfer water to the North of the country to provide water for irrigation purposes for more than 6 million people. This will be a changing point for Libya, and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi called it the Eighth Wonder of the World. The work sta...
