As of 2012 rates, it was to cost Rs 43.97 Crores and was expected to complete in 16 months.
16 month period ended as of March 2014.
The bridge when completed, would reduce distance Panjim-Bicholim/Sankli by at least 10Km.
(One need not take Old-Goa Banastarim, Marcel Road)
The bridge has curved Steel Arch which (see pic) is made onsite? and is 80m long and 250T Wt.
It will be lifted and placed between the two sections of the bridge connecting Gaudalim and Cumbharjua
Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar says (As per news papers dtd 24/4/14) the bridge will be Inaugurated on May 30, 2014, which is very unlikely, going by the work status as of 25.4.14
