The Pamban Road Bridge is just adjacent to the Pamban Railway Bridge and it mainly connects NH 49 with the town of Rameshwaram. This road bridge was inaugurated in the year 1988 on the 2nd of October, by the then prime minister of India, Rajeev Gandhi.

The main stretch of the entire Pamban Road bridge is 2.345 Kilo Meters, however, though short, the experience is a totally worthwhile one that anyone can ever have! Having the endless ocean flowing underneath the bridge as you pass by is a view which you would want to capture in all frames of mind and having the pleasant breezes blow your hair and calm your mind is an experience no one should ever miss.

You can also see many ships and bots pass underneath the bridge, in the ocean, and have yourself feel on top of happiness seeing so much of the sea life, since when on the bridge, all you can see around you is only the endless waters of the ocean.

The stretch of the actual Pamban Railway Bridge, however, is longer, at around 13.5 Kilo Meters, that via train can be covered in less than 20 minutes altogether.
