Goa Heritage Action Group (GHAG) was invited by the PWD, Government of Goa, to participate in discussions on the way forward for the conservation and enhancement of the historic creek and the three historic bridges, namely Minerva (near INOX), Ponte de Portugal (near Vivanta- Campal) and the St Ines Bridge also known as the Tonca Bridge or Old Bridge at the STP and Thomas Garage Junction, where the creek turns to the East.

GHAG members attended the two site visits – at Minerva Bridge and at the third at Thomas Garage.

We now present our Preliminary Assessment and Recommendations for Conservation and Enhancement of St.Ines- Campal Creek and the Historic Bridges to the PWD Executive Engineer for their consideration and appropriate action.
