Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari inaugurated Goa’s much-awaited six-lane Porvorim Elevated Corridor on Wednesday, September 9. Built at a cost of ₹641.46 crore, the 5.15-km elevated corridor connects the Hotel Majestic area in Porvorim to the Sangolda junction section of NH-66.

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, PWD Minister Digambar Kamat, Union Minister of State for Power Shripad Naik, Cabinet Ministers and other dignitaries were present at the inauguration.
