The Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has accepted invitation of government to inaugurate newly constructed bridge at Khandepar-Ponda. The bridge is likely to be opened on December 10.
Sources informed that Minister for PWD Sudin Dhavalikar instead of organising inaugural program in Panaji, wanted Gadkari to visit Khandepar and open the bridge.
Dhavalikar, last week had inspected the Khandepar bridge along with MP Narendra Sawaikar and had wished to open the bridge at the hands of Gadkari.
He had said that after checking security and technical aspects of the bridge, it will be opened for traffic. Sources informed that PWD officials are working on to check all technical aspects.
Minister Sudin Dhavalikar during the 9th Annual Session and Conference of State PWD ministers held in Nagpur, incited Gadkari for inauguration, which the Union minister has accepted.
Dhavalikar had thanked Gadkari and chief minister Manohar Parrikar for supporting better connectivity of roads in the State.
The Khandepar bridge helps to connect Goa with Karnataka.
