Surajbari Creek is a creek in Little Rann of Kutch. It feeds the tidal water to the coastal area of the desert.

History
Uptil 1973 the Kutch was connected to the Indian Main Land by a Road on the North of Kutch. The transportation towards South i.e. Gujarat, Surashtra or Mumbai was made by crossing Gulf of Kutch, from Kandla Port to Navalakhi Port using launch. Surajbari Bridge is the gateway to Kutch.

The Old Surajbari Bridge was constructed in 1960. The Bridge was commissioned in 1973 and Kutch was connected to Saurastra. It was damaged by the earth quake and five weeks after that new Surajbari bridge was commissioned.

The new Surajbari Bridge, which is 1.235 kms long is a 36 span cast-in-place T girder bridge with short cantilevers between the supports.
