Which one of the following statements regarding the New Pamban Bridge is not correct ?
General KnowledgeStatic General Awareness
- AIt is the longest sea bridge in India.
- BIt is located in the state of Maharashtra.
- CIt is also known as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link.
- DIt is an arch bridge.
Explanation
The New Pamban Bridge in Tamil Nadu is a vertical-lift sea bridge, not an arch bridge, so option D is not correct. UPSC's final key marks option D as the answer. Note: key disputed — the question appears defective, since options A (the longest sea bridge in India is the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link/Atal Setu), B (the bridge is in Tamil Nadu, not Maharashtra), and C (the MTHL is a different bridge) are also factually incorrect as worded; independent verification of the intended answer is inconclusive.
