PERNEM: An incomplete portion of a flyover on the NH-66 highway in Pernem has become a cause of concern for residents and regular commuters, who say the exposed section poses a serious safety risk.
Residents have pointed to a visible break in the flyover structure, warning that the area could prove dangerous for motorists, particularly during heavy rain, low visibility conditions and night-time travel. The concern is heightened by the movement of high-speed vehicles along the busy highway corridor.
Local citizens have called on the authorities and project contractors to take urgent steps to secure the site. They have urged the installation of stronger protective barriers, improved warning signs and adequate lighting until the remaining work is completed.
Commuters travelling through the stretch say clearer traffic guidance is needed to prevent confusion and reduce the possibility of mishaps. Many have stressed that safety measures should keep pace with construction activity to ensure that road users are not exposed to avoidable risks.
The issue has renewed attention on the importance of maintaining strict safety standards at ongoing infrastructure projects, especially on major highways carrying heavy traffic.
Residents now hope that the concerns raised will prompt a quick response and that the pending work on the flyover will be completed without delay, ensuring safer travel for motorists using the route.
