Union Minister Nitin Gadkari inaugurated a ₹641-crore, six-lane, 5.15-km elevated corridor at Porvorim on NH-66 in Goa. Built using advanced precast segmental box-girder technology, the project aims to ease urban traffic congestion, reduce travel time by 30 to 40 minutes, and improve connectivity between Panaji, Porvorim, Mapusa, North Goa, the Manohar International Airport, and Maharashtra. Additionally, an MoU was signed between the Public Works Department, Goa, and IIM-Nagpur for traffic simulation to enhance technology-driven traffic management. The Union Minister also inspected the Zuari Bridge, noted as the country's second-longest cable-stayed bridge, which features proposed tourist observatory towers, a revolving restaurant, and an art gallery.
