The Pieta bus lane project should be completed within the next two months, freeing one of the busiest roads in the country from 40 buses every hour, according to Transport Malta.

A speed camera will also be installed at traffic lights to make sure buses stay within the speed limit of 30 kilometres per hour.

Works that started this summer to convert the service lane along Marina Road into a bus lane are part of a wider project intended to reduce traffic congestion and improve the public transport system.

Called Modus, this EU co-founded project includes the new traffic lights on Mdina Road that manage traffic headed to Ta’ Qali and the new bus lane on Aldo Moro Street in Marsa.
