The Msida Creek flyovers project presents an opportunity for a forward-looking infrastructural solution which facilitates sustainable transport, a group of environment NGOs said on Thursday.
A call for tenders for the project was issued by Infrastructure Malta in September. The project will end traffic lights congestion, extend the existing public garden and create a new stormwater system to alleviate the age-old Msida valley flooding problems. It will include the construction of two pedestrian bridges to replace existing pelican crossings, 100 new parking spots and upgrades to other roads in the area, such as that between Ta’ Xbiex and Triq Marina and from Valley Road to and from the skatepark roundabout. An open area close to the Workers Memorial will be embellished.
