The New Zuari Bridge
This is an under-construction cable-stayed bridge over Zuari River on the Panaji-Margao National Highway (NH-17/ NH 66). It is now being built by Dilip Buildcon. This New Zuari Bridge has eight lanes (4+4). It has dual carriageways of 27 m each and has a center median of 10.7m. It is the 2nd longest and widest cable-stay bridge in India. This bridge will be used as an expressway between Panaji and Margao, over the Zuari river. The main bridge over the Zuari river is 640m long. And the approach roads for this bridge cover over 13 km, starting from near the Bambolim cross in North Goa to near Birla cross in South Goa. It is a few meters downstream of the existing Zuari Bridge. The construction beauty[4] of this bridge is worth watching.
It is expected that two towers[5] (110 m high from water level) will be built on this bridge. It is also expected that there will be an observatory and viewing gallery, an art gallery, and also a revolving restaurant.
