Extensive damage in the storm water system of the T’Alla u Ommu area has been discovered by Transport Malta.

The damage was discovered during maintenance works on the system a few days ago, the authority said in a statement.

The team found that a critical part of the system, buried beneath the road surface, had collapsed completely.

TM will install new pipes and rebuild parts of the system, so the maintenance work will take longer than originally planned.

T’Alla u Ommu hill will remain closed until February 4 and vehicles will be directed onto Triq Burmarrad and Triq il-Kosta.
