Navi Mumbai: ‘Newly laid Goa higway has cracks’

NAVI MUMBAI: Cracks have appeared on the Mumbai-Goa highway where concretisation work is on. The PWD National Highway division says the cracks are “negligible”.

“In all, about a 300- mt stretch of the concretised section of the highway has developed cracks, indicating poor-quality work by the contractor,” alleged Shailesh Palkar, a local activist.

“...some [panels] have developed cracks possibly due to issues with ready-mix concrete. It’s a negligible amount as against number of panels. The contractor will be told to replace cracked panels,” said Amol Madkar, junior engineer, PWD-national highway division.
