Mepa first notified Marsa local council of a Transport Malta (then Public Transport Authority) application for the construction of a tunnel for traffic between December 13 Road and the Menqa at Marsa in March 2008.

A second notification to the council had been made in October 2009, but the council had never responded to either notification.
