Investors should evaluate the specific location, accessibility, development potential and legal status of individual properties.<\/span><\/p><p><b>3. Why is NH-66 important to the North Goa infrastructure story?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NH-66 is a major north-south highway connecting Mumbai, Maharashtra&#8217;s Konkan region and Goa.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For <\/span><b>North Goa infrastructure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the highway is important because it connects residential locations, tourism destinations, commercial centres and Mopa Airport with the broader western coastal transportation network.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mumbai\u2013Goa highway improvement programme is intended to strengthen this regional connection.

Its objective is to improve traffic movement through the Porvorim area.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Porvorim is strategically positioned between Panaji, Mapusa, Pernem and the northern tourism belt. Improving movement through this corridor can therefore strengthen connectivity between central Goa, North Goa and Mopa Airport.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From an investment perspective, the corridor demonstrates how improvements at one congestion point can contribute to the effectiveness of the wider regional road network.<\/span><\/p><p><b>5.
