The '''Palk Strait bridge''' is a proposed {{Convert|23|km|mi|adj=on}} bridge over the [[Palk Strait]], between [[Dhanushkodi]] in [[Tamil Nadu]] state of mainland [[India]], and [[Talaimannar]] in [[Mannar Island]] of [[Sri Lanka]]. The proposal, from Indian Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, was submitted to the [[Asian Development Bank]] in June 2015. In December 2015, the Sri Lankan Minister of Highways, Lakshman Kiriella, dismissed the proposal.<ref name=DNAindia>{{cite news|title=India-Sri Lanka road link in the works|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-india-sri-lanka-road-link-in-the-works-nitin-gadkari-2096219|work=[[Daily News and Analysis]]|date=17 June 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Sri Lanka Scuttles Gadkari's Plan for Bridge Over Palk Strait |url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/world/Sri-Lanka-Scuttles-Gadkari%E2%80%99s-Plan-for-Bridge-Over-Palk-Strait/2015/12/19/article3186105.ece |work=[[The New Indian Express]] |first=P.K. |last=Balachandran |agency=Express News Service |date=19 December 2015}}</ref>
