Traffic on the new Patto Bridge in Panaji is slowing down due to the ongoing work where metal plates are being placed on the bridge joints. This maintenance work is necessary to improve the bridge’s durability, but it has led to congestion as vehicles slow down to navigate the joint gaps. While the PWD department is working on these repairs, the temporary traffic disruptions have caused some delays, particularly for commuters entering Panaji.

Authorities are monitoring the situation to ensure smooth traffic flow, and the issue is being addressed with the help of traffic police to manage congestion​.
