Transport Malta has announced new traffic arrangements for the Coast Road because of surfacing works on part of the newly-widened road.

It said the road between Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq and Martin Luther King Hall will be closed for traffic between Monday at 10 am and Friday at 5am.

Access for Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq residents and commercial outlets will remain unobstructed from Naxxar. There will be no access from Pembroke. Vehicles from Msida should use Sliema Road from Kappara Junction. A route from Ta’ L-Ibraġġ in Swieqi to Triq tal-Balal will also be available.

Vehicles from St. Paul’s Bay will be diverted through Burmarrad or through Triq is-Salini up to T’Alla w’Ommu Hill.

One can also drive through Triq ir-Ramla in Magħtab.

Public Transport shuttle service

Since the regular routes will not be going through the Coast Road, Malta Public Transport will be offering a shuttle service between Buġibba and Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq.

Routes 12 and 222 will not go through the Coast Road but will pass through Triq is-Salina, Telgħa t’Alla u Ommu towards San Ġwann then towards the tunnels for Triq Mikiel Anton Vassalli and Paceville to proceed with the usual route.

Route X1 will go through Triq is-Salina, it-Telgħa t’Alla u Ommu and Għargħur Bypass as well. The bus will turn through Triq il-Wied towards Iklin for Birkikara Bypass and University where the route will proceed as usual.
