  • Is this Panval river different from the Panvel near Bombay?
  • To the right after this bridge is the Tike tunnel at a length of about 4.1 kms long.
  • Panval is the name of the river on which this viaduct is built. It has no relation with Panvel near Mumbai.
  • yes panval is different and panvel near mumbai are two different places
  • The difference between panval and panvel is about 500kms :P
  • yes!
  • The information in this page was wrong/already severely outdated when it was published 8 years ago. In 2008 there were already a couple dozen bridges in Asia(alone) that had a higher bridge-to-ground clearance than the Panval Nadi bridge and today in the present there are over 60 bridges in Asia(alone) that have much great height clearances than the Panval Nadi.
