PANAJI: The PWD is building a 1.5km long two-lane service road at Porvorim – starting from the teachers’ training college up to journalists’ colony. The cost of the project is 2.5 crore and it is expected to be completed by May 2014.

PWD sources said that there are a number of internal roads intersecting the national highway-17 along this 1.5km stretch and traffic from these internal roads enters the NH17 causing disruption to the smooth flow of traffic. Once the service road is commissioned, all the internal traffic will move on to the service road and join the national highway only at the roundabout near the journalists’ colony where the service road joins the highway.

Similarly, traffic coming from Panaji and heading towards internal roads will take a right turn at the journalists colony roundabout to take the service road.

Each lane of the two-lane service road will have a width of 3.75m plus a footpath of 1.5m on one side. The service road also has provision for utilities including electrical and other cables, sources said.
