The Gozo Business Chamber and the Gozo Tourism Association have criticised the decision to once again close George Borg Olivier Street in Mellieħa to all vehicles leaving the Gozo ferry.

Access to the road leading from Għadira Bay to Mellieħa at the Seabank Hotel roundabout has been barred to all motorists, except for Mellieħa residents, pending the completion of roadworks.

The two organisations said this arrangement would cause traffic congestion and the average trip for motorists coming from Gozo will increase by 20 to 30 minutes.
