| Abstract: |
National Highway 66 (NH 66) runs North-South in the state of Goa and is the lifeline of the state. Around the centre of this highway, river Zuari runs East-West and needs to be bridged to connect North and South. The existing bridge is 2 lanes and under repair and rehabilitation for the last 2 decades and has severely reduced load carrying capacity thereby creating a long detour for heavy vehicles to traverse North-South. Besides, the local traffic of light vehicles has also increased substantially over the last 2 decades rendering this location critical for passage of traffic. There is therefore, a perennial traffic bottleneck at this location. |
