Bending towards brilliance. Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, United States

Today we are at the Gateway National Park, which was established on February 22, 2018, in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The park, which lies along a picturesque stretch of the Mississippi River, commemorates Thomas Jefferson's idea of a continental nation. At its heart stands the Gateway Arch, a breathtaking structure more than 190 metres tall that has become the ultimate symbol of St. Louis. Constructed of stainless steel, it holds the distinction of being the world's tallest arch and Missouri's tallest accessible structure. Finnish American architect Eero Saarinen dreamed up the design back in 1947, and by October 28, 1965, his vision had been brought to life. The arch's futuristic design has long been viewed as a symbol of the automobile era, representing the modern, urban landscape and the promise of a technologically advanced future.

Much like the Gateway Arch, the Chenab Rail Bridge in our country is another testament to human engineering. This steel and concrete arch bridge carries a single-track railway line between Bakkal and Kauri in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir. Spanning the Chenab River, it stands at an astounding height of 359 metres above the river, earning it the title of the world's highest rail bridge and highest arch bridge.
