A study into the impact on traffic of the City Gate project is being finalised, Infrastructure Minister Austin Gatt has said in reply to a Parliamentary question.

He said the impact study is being made by ADI Associates, Environmental Consultants.

The Renzo Piano plans, unveiled earlier this year, will see the removal of Pope Pius Street, which currently spans City Gate and takes traffic from Castille Place to Bakery Street and the surrounding area, thus necessitating a rethinking of Valletta's traffic arrangements.

The plans will also see the end of parking in Freedom Square and the Opera House site, since both will be built over.
