Ian Borg hits out at critics of €45,000 Marsa Junction ceremony

Infrastructure Minister Ian Borg has hit back at critics of the pomp with which the Marsa Junction road works project was inaugurated, arguing that similar events during Nationalist administrations cost a lot more. In a Facebook post on Monday, Borg said that the ceremony for the €70 million Marsa Junction project, held earlier this month, cost taxpayers €45,480. He said that was less than one-third the €141,771 spent to inaugurate the €1.2 million renovation of St George’s Square in Valletta in 2009 and half the €80,123 spent to inaugurate a new €10 million bus terminus outside the capital in July 2011. Both those projects were inaugurated by a Nationalist government.  

Largest ever infrastructure investment inaugurated in Marsa

Prime Minister Robert Abela on Thursday inaugurated the Marsa flyover project, describing it as the largest ever infrastructure investment in Malta. Abela said the €70 million, seven-lane flyover was the result of an ambitious plan the government has for the country.  He vowed that Malta would be ready to start competing again in the global market once the COVID-19 pandemic was over. Abela said infrastructure projects such as this were vital for Malta s competitive edge.  Video: DOI The Prime Minister emphasised how the government had forged ahead with such projects despite the pandemic. Infrastructure Minister Ian Borg said Thursday s inauguration put to bed any doubts there may have been about the government ability to deliver such a project.

Activists in Dingli end three-week protest against road to nowhere

Activists camping in Dingli to block works on a controversial “road to nowhere” cutting through fields have agreed to stand down after the authorities reduced the road’s width by a fifth. The scaling down of the project connecting Sienja and Muzew alleys with Don Bosco street will also ensure no more carob trees are destroyed and a Medieval chapel in the area is further protected, although its environmental context will be ruined. Two centuries-old trees have already been destroyed as part of the road-building works. Moviment Graffitti activists who halted the Infrastructure Malta project three weeks ago by setting up camp on the fields have pledged to keep their eyes peeled for any possible development in the area.
