Plans for spending of €430 million in capital projects were announced by the Finance Minister this evening. € 180 million will come from European Union funds.

He said €43.7 million would be spent arterial roads and others in various

localities. The road to Marsascala will be completed, whereas Valletta Road extending to Zurrieq will be constructed as well as the road which from Zabbar leads to the vicinities of SmartCity.

The road to Marfa, the road in Marsa leading to the Menqa and the cargo terminal,

Mġarr Road in Gozo and European Council Road between Marsa and Luqa will also be improved.

He said the government would work on reforming the bus service and eventually withdraw the subsidy to it.

€9 million would be invested on new bus terminals in Valletta, Rabat Gozo, and Buġibba’s tourist centre.
