A €3.5 million project to improve the Buġibba and Qawra promenades has been completed, Transport Malta said.

The authority said it applied 42,000 square metres of asphalt on 4.32km of roads in a major touristic area, in time for the main touristic season. It scheduled the work around weekends, public holidays and hotel commitments to minimise disruption.

Apart from roadworks, contractors replaced numerous household connections and painted new line markings.

The investment is the first from the newly introduced eco-contributions paid by tourists. It was carried out with the assistance of the Tourism Ministry and the Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association.
