Mandovi River Cable Stayed Bridge
The third bridge over the Mandovi River in Goa is an iconic structure that connects Panaji in Tiswadi Taluka and Porvorim in Bardez Taluka. Positioned between the two existing bridges, it was designed to ease traffic congestion along this route. The bridge was officially inaugurated on January 27, 2019.
As one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in India, the four-lane, 21m-wide, 620m-long continuous span Mandovi River Cable-Stayed Bridge adds architectural beauty to Panaji. Standing 70m above sea level, its central concrete pylons are spaced at 150m and are supported by 88 cables arranged in a single-plane harp-type configuration.
