Minister for Gozo Justyne Caruana has said that the road works in St Anthony Street, Ghajnsielem have now started and will then proceed to Mgarr Road Nadur.

Dr Caruana explained that this is “one whole major project which is funded from the Ministry for Gozo allocated budget and is being executed as per expert advice.”

Once implemented, the Minister said that these works will permanently address several issues. Last year experts appointed by the Ministry for Gozo gave a detailed explanation of the challenges associated with the work on Mgarr Road.

Following the evaluation of studies, experts completed plans and designs to ensure that the interventions are made and implemented to last, Dr Caruana said.

“Through this project 1.6 kilometres of roads will be rebuilt as well as new services put in, meaning that in particular, for the residents of St. Anthony Street, this will eliminate the inconvenience linked to the drainage system which has persisted for decades.”
