Panaji, 17th Oct. Goa, often referred to as a paradise for travelers and party enthusiasts, attracts tourists from across India and the globe every year. However, this influx of visitors has resulted in persistent traffic congestion in the region. To address this issue, the Indian government is set to construct a new four-lane road to enhance connectivity between Panaji, Ponda, and Karnataka.
With a budget of ₹557 crores, the project aims to alleviate traffic congestion, improve road safety, and facilitate easier travel. The new road will span 9.6 kilometers along National Highway 748, connecting Ponda to Bhoma and linking with existing four-lane routes between Khandepaar, Ponda, and the Ribandar bypass. This infrastructure will significantly streamline travel between Goa’s capital, Panaji, and Ponda, while also providing quicker access to Dabolim Airport and Mormugao Port via National Highways 566 and 66.
The completion of this road is expected to benefit both local residents and tourists visiting Goa, ensuring smoother travel experiences. Additionally, the road aims to facilitate the seamless movement of goods and people across state borders. Currently, heavy traffic is a common sight on the Ponda-Bhoma route, leading to frequent jams and accidents. The introduction of the new four-lane road is anticipated to reduce these problems, making travel safer and more convenient.
If you’re planning a trip to Goa, don’t miss visiting the scenic Parra Road, adorned with palm trees and lush fields, which has featured in several Bollywood films and TV series. Notably, scenes from Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt’s film “Dear Zindagi” were shot along this picturesque route. Goa is renowned worldwide for its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and exquisite dining options.
Travelers can reach Goa by road, train, or flight. For those arriving by train, the two main railway stations are Madgaon and Vasco-da-Gama, both located in the southern part of the state. If you prefer flying, you will land at Dabolim Airport.
