According to railway officials, the total weight of the cable used in the bridge is around 848 metric tonnes and the length of the cable strands involved is 653 km.
The speed of trains will be 100 kmph on this bridge which is the speed for the entire project. However, the trains will be stopped if the wind speed goes beyond 90 kmph.
The timelapse video was shared by the Railway Minister a few days ago:
