PANAJI: Officials of the public works department (PWD) have determined to carry out desilting paintings at the Sal river from Colva junction onwards to resolve the problem of flooding related to the Western Bypass project.
As locals have adverse the 11.Nine-km Western Bypass project mentioning that it'll lead to flooding all the way through monsoon in the spaces where the project is coming up, officials are anxious that best this stretch of the 135-km freeway growth paintings will remain incomplete when one of the most four and six-laning tasks are opened to the public next 12 months.
“The Western Bypass project was once in the beginning intended to cost Rs 200 crore, but the funds for it has already gone up through Rs 150 crore. The Union ministry for street delivery and highways has refused outright to extend the funds to any extent further,” stated an legit.
The four-lane Western Bypass on National Highway 17 will get started close to the Agnel Ashram at Nuvem and end at Dramapur. It will likely be built at the western facet of the existing street and can pass via Margao, Seraulim, Telaulim, Benaulim and Navelim. Villagers have demanded the spaces which might be flooded because of the project be built on stilts.
“With the Union ministry refusing to extend funding for the project, there is not any query of building it on stilts. So now we have determined to desilt the Sal river which should relieve the spaces affected by flooding all the way through monsoon to a large extent. This will allow us to finish the Western Bypass paintings,” stated the legit.
Many of the freeway four and six-laning tasks in the state will likely be opened for public use from January 2019. Completion of the entire project will allow commuters to cruise at 80 to 100kmph pace around the length and breadth of the state. The officials are, then again, anxious that best this actual stretch of the Western Bypass stretch may remain incomplete leading to bottlenecks.
