B.Chenab Bridge is the world's highest railway arch bridge.
C.Bhupen Hazarika Setu is built over the Lohit river.
D.The new Pamban Bridge is an arch bridge.✓ Correct
Explanation
Atal Setu (Mumbai Trans Harbour Link), inaugurated in 2024, is India's longest sea bridge — correct. The Chenab Bridge in Jammu and Kashmir is the world's highest railway arch bridge — correct. Bhupen Hazarika Setu (Dhola-Sadiya Bridge) is indeed built over the Lohit river, a tributary of the Brahmaputra — correct. However, the new Pamban Bridge (inaugurated in 2025) is India's first VERTICAL LIFT SEA BRIDGE, not an arch bridge — hence statement (d) is incorrect.
