Speaking to reporters here, Jain said the construction of the new Pamban bridge would be done without affecting the marine resources.
The first phase of work on the extension of train service to Dhanushkodi has been completed, and the rest of the work would begin soon, he said.
The new bridge uses ‘Scherzer’ rolling lift technology in which the bridge opens up horizontally.
In the new bridge, a 63-metre section would lift vertically upwards remaining parallel to the deck. It would be done using sensors at each end, an official had said.
