    Dhanushkodi is situated in the South-East of Pamban. Danushkodi is about 18 miles (29 km) West of Talaimannar in Sri Lanka. Indian should have bridge between them. reduce some aircraft acquisition and able to cover it.

    Beautiful. I saw the building of the Oresund bridge once on TV. Truly marvelous some of the technology that goes into making these super structures.

    What's the traffic forecast for this bridge? Is it worth the investment?

    Chinese don't really care about these things, 4 years even not enough for envionmental impact study. Just do it.

    But then that's not sustainable in the long run. You build something if there is any use for it. You don't build to enter into Guinness Book!!
