Gaundalim - Cumbharjua Bridge

Construction of 4 lane, 400m long bridge started in Nov/Dec 2012.
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
(See pics and Video).

Panjim Shigmo Floats

22.3.2014

Whole thing must have got over by 1.30am

Something that never gets right.

I wish the whole event management is outsourced or given to a Pvt Event Management including Carnival etc who will take care of time management, smooth functioning, security aspect, street lighting, Viewers gallery etc etc.

Last float to leave the point of origin 11.15pm the same must have reached the terminating point i.e. Azad Maidan at 1am.

Imagine people come here at 4pm and made to wait till midnight and beyond.

The organisers owes an explanation to public on this fiasco

Surprisingly, no newspapers highlights this issue

One day old chief minister assured (off mic) that Shigmo would be finished by 10pm in the coming years.. did it ever happened? No.
