The 5.15-km long six-lane corridor connecting the Hotel Majestic, Porvorim to the Sangolda junction section of NH-66 has been built at a cost of Rs 641.46 crore. The project was sanctioned in April 2023. Sawant said that this landmark addition to the national highway network will ease daily commutes and enhance inter-State connectivity, driving forward the vision of progressive and world-class road infrastructure in Goa. It will also reduce travel time between North Goa and South Goa districts and provide non-stop access through heavily congested Porvorim area.
