Msida Creek Flyover Structure Completed As Final Steel Section Installed
The steel structure forming the new Msida Creek flyover is officially complete after the final section, measuring 18 metres and weighing 25.5 tonnes, was installed early on Sunday morning.
All six sections of the steel structure were designed and manufactured locally, with the project reaching this milestone in under a year since works first began.
Transport Minister Chris Bonett said the project is progressing at a fast pace, confirming that the new bridge linking Msida and Pietà will open to vehicles in the coming weeks, while the flyover is set to open by the end of the year.
“Both the bridge and flyover will help us create a new open public space in the heart of Msida, while a new canal will address the area’s long-standing flooding issues,” Bonett added.
Infrastructure Malta CEO Steve Ellul said the agency is doing its utmost to reduce disruption, with major works taking place at night or over weekends.
“Traffic diversions are always communicated in advance to ensure this project is implemented smoothly,” Ellul noted.
