The construction work of the new eight-lane Zuari bridge is being undertaken in three packages of Zuari bridge. They are from Bambolim to Agacaim package 1 of Zuari bridge; main 1.8-km-long bridge and from Cortalim upto Verna industrial estate as package 3 of Zuari bridge.
All these works are expected to be completed by May next year while, efforts are to commission one of the four-lane sections of the bridge on Liberation Day this year, sources in the PWD said.
The work of the four-lane section was earlier scheduled to be completed by December last but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and also due to large chunk of construction workers heading to their home towns. The new Zuari bridge is being constructed by Dilip Buildcon Limited of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
