Nice comment by Mr. Michael Neville Cassar re-Dingli Cliffs road. I believe that there is no such big work in this road but only a layer of Tarmac.

This road has the most panoramic view in the North of Malta and it is very popular with the Maltese people and families especially on Sundays in winter and popular with tourists all year round.

what about madliena ... horrible roads to drive in ... its like living on mars ... But there is a bright side in this, if ever we had to go live on Mars, the Maltese would be the first to feel "at home"

It seems to me that the length of road being 'rebuilt' is very small - maybe about 15Km.

This works out at about 2 million/Km - Is this the 'normal' cost (normal = outside Malta).

I remember when the COGAM road were built and extra 1Km stretch of road was poorly 'rebuilt' (no drainage diversion etc.) at a cost of 1 million Lm (about 2.3 million EUR). I could not understand why it cost so much when there was not that much work involved/carried out.
BTW it took almost 2 years !

Govt. and EU funders should investigate.

Malta is on the "road" to no where and the people better rise up and change things for the better or its not looking good ...sorry !

I am writing on behalf of a friend who lives in triq is-Silla Zabbar.
Triq is-Silla in Zabbar is just some 30 metres long. St Anthony street and the Zabbar Bypass which are at right angles to it one on each side have been tarmacked. Triq is-Silla was made with tar and stone chippings in 1986 and has never been repaired or tarmacked. When they started to rebuild the Bypass a few months ago heavy vehicles used in the project continuously passed through triq is-Silla completely destroying it, turning it into a veritable mud area when it rains and a dust storm raiser every time a vehicles passes through. MY FRIEND ASKS WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE TARMACKED?

To whom it may concern.

Triq L-imsel, Triq ix-xolfa, Triq il-kavalli and Piazza Kenneja, are in bad state.
Can something be done, please.

What about the streets of Gozo? They are falling apart and it's going to get much worse through the winter. Are we part of Malta or no? We only got 2 main roads done and the rest of the island is like driving in India. Thanks a lot whoever is in charge.

We do roads that can be seen by public and not roads that really in need of some tarmac or we do roads where where we can get some votes else no sign of tarmac!
Mqabba road going from siggiewi to Mqabba a very usefull road to reduce traffic at Luqa tunnels, this road is worst than the moon for sure !!!

Hope that triq in newl (hal mula) zebbug malta will be one of the street to be in the list for new
surface.
If not i suggest a change in its name to moon street instead of newl street.
WE HAD BEEN WAITING A LITTLE TO LONG.
Hope that some of the road budget for the local council will be passed to Zebbug local so that we will have what we deserve in 2009.

What about Belvedere Street in Gzira? We have been living in a mess for years. Shame to our local council and the authorities.

What about Armier and Little Armier road? This road was never surfaced. It should be very embarrassing knowing it is being used by so many tourists and locals throughout the summer.

@ Victor Pulis - Council of Europe road starts from opposite Dinitrol towards the Marsa Industrial Estate. What was done before CHOGM was the stretch from Dinitrol to Qormi

What does 'MAIN Roads/Streets' mean ? For example do these Roads/Streets fall under the name Main? From Naxxar Church down to Valletta Rd [ both sides]; Triq Il Wied Balzan; From University Roundabout to Msida [going up & down]; the unfished Sliema Road, from ex-Tank Tal Gass to San Gwann; Opposite the Turks Cemetary; & PLUS many more?
