History
The Pamban Road Bridge was constructed to alleviate the increasing traffic congestion on the existing Pamban Railway Bridge, which was the only link between Rameswaram Island and the mainland for many years. The need for a dedicated road bridge became apparent as tourism and trade in the region grew. Construction began in 1974 and the bridge was completed and opened to the public in 1988. It was named in honor of the then-Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi. The bridge has since played a crucial role in improving connectivity and facilitating economic development in the Rameswaram region, serving as a vital artery for both locals and tourists.
