North Goa gets a rebuilt coastal link: the ₹58.32 crore Chopdem Querim road tender covers 7.80 km of MDR-18 in Pernem taluka and closes at 3:00 PM on 26 November 2026.
From Chopdem bridge to the Tirakhol ferry wharf
Goa PWD wants improvement of MDR-18 from Chopdem bridge to the Querim Tirakhol ferry wharf, with the bypass road, under the Mandrem constituency of Pernem taluka. Package 1 runs from chainage 0.00 to 7.80 km. Division XIII at Mapusa under Circle III Panaji is the inviting office, reference 6/4/PWD-WD-XIII (R)/ASW/19/2026-27L1, and the portal marks it a retender first call with 365 days.
This is the road that carries tourist traffic up the Pernem coast towards Querim beach and the Tirakhol crossing. One year to finish 7.80 km is a short period for a road that has to stay open through two peak seasons, so staging and diversions matter as much as quantities.
A heavy deposit for the size
EMD is ₹68,32,110, which is a little over 1 per cent of the ₹58,32,10,975 estimate, with a ₹40,000 fee, on a percentage form of contract. Bids open at 10:30 AM on 27 November. Being a retender, the earlier round did not close, so read the notice for revised conditions before pricing.
Sandy coastal subgrade and a high water table change the method. Expect geotextile and granular treatment rather than deep excavation, so excavators and backhoe loaders work mostly on drains, kerbs and utility shifting. The pavement train is the money: a motor grader and vibratory compactors running continuously, fed by a wheel loader at the plant. Cross drainage and retaining work near the wharf needs transit mixers. Plan the bituminous work for the dry months, because the Goa monsoon will take four of your twelve.
