Old Zuari bridge
As for present Zuari bridge, it was inaugurated  around  1983 by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi? (to be confirmed)  but  weeks or months before that it was unofficially inaugurated around 10th April by  Kiran Bedi? the then SP (Traffic) of Goa. (Vehicular traffic was using the bridge before 15th April pending official inauguration)  The bridge was ready but waiting for PM etc to inaugurate.   Earlier, the official inauguration of the bridge was postponed  at least twice due to non availability of PM etc. 
I also remember, it took at least  11-14 years to complete the Zuari bridge (Foundation stone laid by then or Goa's first Chief Minister Dayanand Bandodkar, died in 1973)
The bridge was build by Gammon India Ltd.
Public transport buses started plying on the bridge around 12th May.
Ferry stopped plying on this sector (Except Madkai) around 17th May thus  RND losing about 25 lacs per year due to stoppage of ferries on this profitable route.   In 70s, all over Goa, every passenger paid 25p to cross river by ferry, vehicles at extra charge.  Passengers and two wheeler on ferries now (all Goa) travel free of cost probably since 1986 after the collapse of Mandovi bridge at Panaji.
Bridge Toll booths started collecting toll as from 15th Sept 1983. Toll being Rs.10 for buses/Trucks, Rs.2 for light vehicle, cars and 50p for two wheeler. Toll collection was expected to run for 10 years with yearly income revenue of 55 lacs
