Okha–Beyt Dwarka Signature Bridge

The Okha-Beyt Dwarka Signature Bridge is a cable-stayed crossing over the Gulf of Kutch, with two tall concrete A-shaped towers as its main support. The structure spans 2320 meters and carries a four-lane roadway connecting mainland Gujarat to Beyt Dwarka island.

The bridge was designed and built starting in 2018 to connect two regions that had been separated by water for centuries. Its completion marked a turning point for transportation in the area, replacing lengthy ferry routes and indirect paths.

The bridge links the mainland to Beyt Dwarka island, where visitors come to experience religious sites and connect with local communities. For residents, it has become a daily part of life, bringing families and workers together across the water.

The bridge features wide pedestrian paths on both sides and viewing points where travelers can stop to see the gulf and surroundings. Plan time to walk and enjoy the views, especially during sunrise or sunset when the crossing feels most memorable.

The bridge features solar panels built into its structure that generate electricity for the lighting system. This makes it one of the few major crossings in India designed to partially power itself with renewable energy.
