Works on the Qawra junction are ahead of schedule and the junction will remain open for traffic tonight, Transport Malta said today.
Works will continue on Saturday for the final layer of asphalt to be applied. Since this phase is the most critical, the asphalting will be done during the day to ensure the best possible result.
"The timing of the works is in sync with the ongoing weekend activities in the area which require north bound access in the early evening and full access later on, TM said.
The junction will be closed to all traffic on Saturday at 5am.
The northbound traffic will then be able to drive across this junction from 1pm onwards. Southbound traffic will in turn be granted access from 8pm onwards.
