Infrastructure Minister Austin Gatt has given 2012 as the date of completion of improvements at Cirkewwa ferry harbour.

Replying to a question in Parliament by Labour MP Anton Refalo, the minister said temporary facilities will be built next year to vacate the space needed for the permanent works.

The temporary facilities will include a shelter for passengers, a police station, public convenience, road markings, barriers and railings. Tenders will be issued early next year.

The next phase will then include the building of a new passenger terminal, gangways to the ferries, new pavements, parking areas, the completion of the North Quay Berth 3, improvement to the ro-ro ramp , passenger shelter facilities on the south quay and other refurbishment.

The project is expected to be completed in 2012.
