Sudarshan Setu bridge

February 26, 2024

The Prime Minister inaugurated the Sudarshan Setu, a four-lane cable-stayed bridge connecting Okha to Beyt Dwarka island in Gujarat.
It is India’s longest cable-stayed bridge of length around 2.32 km.
The bridge spans 2.32 kilometres, with a central double-span cable-stayed portion covering 900 metres, accompanied by a 45-kilometre-long approach road.
The bridge aims to simplify access for devotees commuting between Okha and Bet Dwarka.
Before its construction, the pilgrims had to rely on boat transport to reach the Dwarkadhish Temple in Beyt, Dwarka.
The four-lane 27.20-metre wide bridge has 50 metre wide footpaths on each side.
The bridge boasts a unique design, featuring a footpath adorned with verses from Srimad Bhagavad Gita and images of Lord Krishna on both sides.
