Motorists heading towards Valletta after 9 a.m. faced problems in Floriana this morning as the carriageway in St Anne Street leading out was closed and a stage set up for this evening's New Year celebrations.

Traffic out of Valletta was diverted to Crucifix Hill, crossing traffic going into Valletta and causing a traffic jam all the way to Blata l-Bajda.

All of St Anne Street was later closed.
