Minister for Gozo and Planning Clint Camilleri has announced that the infrastructure works on Sir Arturo Mercieca Road in Victoria, have been completed.

He stated that this project is a “testament to how the ministry is working in a coordinated manner to strengthen essential infrastructure in every corner of Gozo.”

He explained that, “Sir Arturo Mercieca Road is an example of how the projects we are carrying out in Gozo are not just tarmacking, but a long-term investment in the quality of life of our residents. By strengthening the drainage, water and electricity systems, we are ensuring that the infrastructure is modern, safe and sustainable for years to come.”

The Minister explained that several interventions were carried out in this project, including the complete replacement of the drainage system in order to ensure greater efficiency and reduce the likelihood of future problems. A new water main was also laid to strengthen the main water network in Victoria and improve the supply to the area and a new system of rainwater pipes was built.

In addition, extensive work was also carried out on the electricity system, where three low tension cables were laid to strengthen the electricity supply in the area, while old cables that are no longer used were completely removed. Finally, the road was rebuilt from the ground up and given a new surface that offers a safer driving experience.

“Various interventions and works on the roads are currently underway on the island of Gozo in order to strengthen essential networks and continue to improve the quality of the road infrastructure,” the Minister said.

The Minister concluded by saying that “this project forms part of a wider programme of modernisation of roads and essential services in Gozo, which aims to improve the quality of life and continue to strengthen the island’s infrastructure.”
