Digital Goa, Aug 25 – November 2022 is the new deadline for opening of the under construction cable stayed Zuari bridge. The good news is, unlike the Atal Setu, the Zuari bridge will be open for use by two-wheelers too. The second last lot of segments, i.e. 14 of the total 53 segments will be shifted today while the last lot of segments which will be the closure segments will be shifted on Aug 30, informed Dilip Buildcon Ltd Deputy Project Manager Deogonda Patil. After that, another two months will be needed for crash barrier, load testing etc. Road work will be completed subject to weather conditions. The overall process will take another two months or so. The bridge is likely to be thrown open for public, only after that, Patil added. “By November, 14 Km stretch from Bambolim to Verna will be ready,” he asserted.
Incidentally, the weight of each segment, including steel and concrete is nearly 350 metric ton. Representatives of Chinese partner firm Liuzhou OVM Machinery Co Ltd who are providing cables for the bridge also visited Goa on Aug 22 to oversee the work.
