Bicholim: PWD has undertaken road-widening work along the Mulgao-Kasarpal bypass to improve road safety and enhance traffic movement.Plans are under way to connect the stretch to the Assonora bypass by constructing a traffic island in the middle of the road.The Mulgao-Kasarpal bypass road was constructed several years ago after concerns were raised over the original road’s steep gradient. The earlier stretch had witnessed a fatal accident in which a person was killed after being run over by a truck.However, despite the bypass, motorists face difficulties due to confusion over traffic movement. The limited visibility for buses emerging from the bypass and heading towards Mapusa has also posed a potential threat to road users.Resident Vinay Mathkar said the bypass urgently needed improvements to prevent accidents.
