The new Zuari Bridge was inaugurated on December 29, and traveling between North and South Goa will never be the same again. The crucial connection over the river - which was the old Zuari bridge - was plagued by traffic snarls and was a nightmare, especially during the tourist season. But after the new bridge was inaugurated, according to Goa Times, they found commuters were pleased, traffic cops happy, and a general sense of ease.
