Bambolim foot overbridge project delayed, contractor unresponsive

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

The Bambolim foot overbridge project has not started, despite a contractor being selected seven months ago. The state public works department has not received any response from the contractor since the acceptance letter was issued. Officials have sent a final letter to the contractor, which may lead to the project being retendered for a third time. The initial contractor, Mookambika Constructions, won the bid at around Rs 6 crore but has not confirmed acceptance. The overbridge is designed to improve safety for pedestrians near the Holy Cross shrine, where vehicle speeds have increased due to highway expansion. The project includes a lift and escalator to assist elderly visitors.
