The project is being developed by Railway Vikas Nigam Limited. The foundation stone for the bridge was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in March 2019 in the city of Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu. Earlier, it was reported that the new Pamban bridge will help Indian Railways operate trains on the route at a higher speed, and it will also allow trains to carry more weight. Moreover, it will maximize the volume of traffic between the mainland of Pamban and Rameswaram, which is an area of religious significance.
