The extensive road infrastructure project, covering a total stretch of 6,850 meters, was executed in three well-planned phases over the past three months, ensuring minimal disruption to commuters.
Prior to the BC surfacing, the Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM) layer was laid and stabilized, with all necessary rectifications addressed. Remarkably, the entire operation was carried out without major road closures, a testament to IPSCDL’s coordinated planning and efficient execution.
Phase 1 (735 meters):
Phase 2 (1,024 meters):
Phase 3 (1,415 meters):
The road painting and traffic signage phase is already underway and will continue till May 31, 2025. This will be followed by a focused landscaping and tree plantation drive scheduled for June 1–30, aimed at improving urban greenery and ecological balance. IPSCDL is employing climate-resilient planting techniques to ensure higher tree survival rates and long-term benefits.
Work on St. Inez Road is also progressing steadily, with 3,000 meters of concrete roadwork nearing completion. Importantly, the key sewerage line from Taad Maad to the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) has been successfully connected, clearing the path for the final surface layer to be laid.
To further enhance traffic flow in the city center, several internal roads near Café Bhonsle Square have also been upgraded and reopened:
“We are well on track and nearing project completion with key achievements in road surfacing, signage, and utility integration. Our teams have prioritized both quality and public convenience. The final stages will focus on sustainable landscaping and enhancing long-term urban resilience,” said Mr. Sanjit Rodrigues, Managing Director & CEO of IPSCDL.
The transformation promises improved mobility, safety, and a better overall urban experience for residents and visitors in Panaji.
