The Additional Collector of South Goa recently chaired a meeting to review plans for the closure and traffic diversion required for the strengthening and rehabilitation of the existing Borim bridge. The meeting resulted in directions being issued to the National Highways Authority to formally notify the road closure and diversion plan.
The closure and diversion are scheduled to take effect after September 10, 2025, to allow for comprehensive repair works necessary to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the Borim bridge. This move is part of broader efforts to maintain and upgrade infrastructure in South Goa, ensuring smooth and safe transportation in the long term.
Authorities are coordinating closely to ensure that notifications about the closure and traffic diversion are clearly communicated to the public ahead of implementation. The diversion routes are being planned to minimize disruption to commuters and vehicular movement in the affected areas.
The Borim bridge plays a vital role in connectivity and its rehabilitation is expected to significantly improve safety standards once completed. The closure will necessitate adjustments for daily travelers, and the government has urged people to plan their journeys accordingly and stay updated through official channels.
