As part of the reinforcement of the electricity distribution system new cables are to be laid between Kercem substation and Kercem Road substation, and part of this reinforcement includes works in Triq Kercem, Victoria, which is targeted to start in mid-June and take about a month to be completed, said Environment and Energy Minister Miriam Dalli.

She added that after these works are carried out, asphalt will be provided in accordance with the permits and conditions of Transport Malta.

The Minister was replying to a Parliamentary Question tabled by Nationalist Party MP Chris Said as to what type of works have been, or will be carried out in Victoria. Which entity or authority will be working and when the work will be started and completed. Also whether asphalt will be laid along the road that has already been touched or along the entire road if it is touched.

Minister Dalli went on to say that work by the Water Services Corporation are underway in Triq San Duminku on both the drinking water and sewage networks. These are expected to be completed towards the end of July and then asphalt will be provided along the entire road.

Similar works are also being carried out in Triq il-Kapuccini, Triq Giacintu Caminzuli, Triq Pisani and Triq Marsalforn which are part of a project of the Ministry for Gozo, the Minister said.
