"Vehicles moving from Panaji and Margao towards Vasco will be diverted from Cortalim to Birla/Titan Junction via NH 566 (Old NH-17B), continuing through Airport, Chicalim Circle, and St. Andrew Church Junction to Vasco. Route buses travelling from Panaji and Margao to Vasco will follow the same diversion.
