PM Modi Inaugurates Sudarshan Setu: India's Magnificent Cable-Stayed Marvel

In a momentous event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ceremoniously inaugurated the Sudarshan Setu, heralded as India's longest cable-stayed bridge. This architectural marvel spans across the coastal vistas of Dwarka, Gujarat, serving as a testament to the nation's progress and engineering prowess.

The genesis of the Sudarshan Setu dates back to October 2017 when Prime Minister Modi laid the foundation stone for its construction. Formerly known as the 'Signature Bridge', it has now been rechristened as the Sudarshan Bridge or Sudarshan Setu, symbolizing connectivity and progress.

PM Modi, in a statement, expressed his delight at the inauguration, emphasizing the bridge's role in uniting lands and people. The Sudarshan Setu, stretching over 2.32 kilometers across the Arabian Sea, links Beit Island with Okhra Port, a monumental feat of infrastructure realized at a cost of Rs 979 crore.

Prior to the inauguration, Prime Minister Modi paid homage at the revered Dwarkadhish Temple, underscoring the cultural significance intertwined with the project. The Sudarshan Setu not only represents a physical link but also embodies the aspirations of a nation marching steadfastly towards development.

Moreover, the inauguration of the Sudarshan Setu is part of a series of significant events planned for the day, reflecting the government's commitment to enhancing connectivity and infrastructure across the nation.
