The Malta Transport Authority has instructed the contractor commissioned to re-construct the St Paul’s Bay Bypass to resurface parts of the road following negative test results related to the evenness of the road surface.

The ADT said its tests following the completion of all asphalting works by the contractor last Friday. It was found that in certain areas, the asphalt wearing course did not meet the longitudinal regularity criteria specified in the contract.

Some 1,800m of wearing course will have to be removed and replaced by the contractor, Asfaltar Ltd, as its expense. The work will be carried out after the summer.
