PORVORIM: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant today said that the physical progress and financial progress of the Mopa Link road project achieved till 17 July is 64.23 % and 64.07% respectively
“The physical progress and financial progress achieved till 17/7/2023 is 64.23% and 64.07% respectively,” said CM.
He further said that as per the contract agreement, the scheduled date of completion of the project is 10th October 2023. However, the tentative period by which work may be completed is by March 2024.
The Centre has sanctioned Rs 641.46 crore for building an elevated corridor between Sangolda junction to the Majestic hotel section of NH-66 to improve accessibility to the newly built Mopa Airport.
The 5.15-km-long six-lane elevated corridor at Porvorim is being developed by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways.
The stretch of highway between the Sangolda-Guirim Junction and Conqueror Circle is one of the busiest routes in the State, especially with traffic proceeding along the Mapusa-Panaji and Saligao-Panaji routes.
The huge flow of traffic on the highway in addition to traffic proceeding to the Mall de Goa and other business establishments in Porvorim have often led to traffic jams along the stretch.
