CANACONA
Pieces of concrete have begun to come apart on the road at the Galgibaga-Maxem bridge, which has endangered motorists along the Manohar Parrikar Canacona Bypass of the NH66 highway.
Residents in Galgibaga have complained about the substandard work and have demanded immediate repair to prevent any road mishap at the site.
The residents said they have been regularly complaining about the substandard work by the contractor, with the damage being noticed within a few months of the inauguration of the Manohar Parrikar Canacona Bypass.
“The entire stretch of road has become uneven and bumpy for motorists on the Galgibaga-Maxem bridge for the second time in a year,” said a local Seby Barretto.
Another resident pointed out that concrete has given away and steel bars are dangerously protruding out, posing a threat to motorists.
“After a similar situation a few months ago, repair work was carried out but the same situation has cropped up yet again. Neither the contractor nor the PWD has been bothered to repair the damaged portion,” said the resident.
