Excavation works for building of relief road to start this month

MIDI plc said excavation works for the construction of an underground relief road, as part of the first phase of its Tigné Point Development Project will start this month.

Concurrently, trenching works will get underway in respect of the diversion of the 11KVA power supply passing through Tigné Point.

This will immediately be followed by excavation works on the site where the first apartment blocks, part of the Tigné South development, will be constructed commencing this July.

The Lm140 million mega-project by MIDI plc, a Maltese business consortium, aims to create a new and complete urban centre of the highest standard with a unique Maltese dimension at Tigné Point.

The development, which is Malta`s largest privately funded project, will up-market the island with residential and commercial areas, a yacht marina and the rehabilitation of historical buildings such as Fort Tigné and Fort Manoel.

MIDI pointed out that the Tigné Point area is a construction site and therefore, it is in the public`s interest, that access to Tigné Point is strictly limited to construction staff only.

MIDI plc plans to open the location for public access once the work is completed.

It said that as from tomorrow the road between Tigné Sea Front (from Fortina Hotel) to Qui-si-Sana Road (up to Crowne Plaza Hotel) will be closed to both pedestrians and vehicles.
