PANAJI: PWD will draw up plans for the construction of a bridge over railway tracks on level crossing 25 at Cansaulim to allow for the smooth flow of traffic on the busy major district road from Mobor-Cavelossim to Dabolim airport.Chief minister Manohar Parrikar, who listened to the grievances of villagers from Cansaulim, Arossim and Cuelim along with environment minister Alina Saldanha, instructed PWD officials to pursue the project and entrust it to Goa state infrastructure development corporation.He also asked them to obtain approvals from the South Western Railway authorities. Land acquisition for it will soon commence. Late Matanhy Saldanha had already reserved his land for the bridge. The overhead link was a long-pending request of the CAC villagers, as traffic comes to a halt when trains pass by.
