=== Proposed Road and Rail Bridge === {{Main|Palk Strait Bridge}} The [[Palk Strait Bridge]] is a proposed road and rail sea bridge and tunnel that would cross the Palk Strait roughly over, or parallel to, Adam's Bridge. It would span from [[Dhanushkodi]] at the tip of [[Pamban Island]] in India, to [[Talaimannar]] on [[Mannar Island]] in Sri Lanka, and would be used for both industrial/economic purposes and to boost tourism. The bridge was first seriously proposed by the Indian and Sri Lankan governments in 2002, shelved after security-related objections by the then-Governor of [[Tamil Nadu]], and revived for serious consideration in 2023.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Raju |first1=Adluri Subramanyam |title=Bridge that could boost India and Sri Lanka ties |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/ht-insight/international-affairs/bridge-that-could-boost-india-and-sri-lanka-ties-101720425419763.html |website=Hindustan Times |access-date=26 August 2024 |language=en |date=2024-07-08}}</ref> As of August 2024, its status is that the feasibility studies are nearing completion.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-06-16 |title=Feasibility study on proposal to establish land connectivity with India in final stages, says Sri Lankan President |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-sri-lanka-land-connectivity-feasibility-study-on-proposal-in-final-stages-sri-lankan-president-9395903/ |access-date=2024-07-09 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>
