New tarmac is to be laid on part of Valletta Road on the southbound lanes alongside the Mosta technopark after resurfacing carried out in September proved to be of poor quality.

Transport Malta said on Monday that the road, southbound (towards Lija, Birkirkara) will be closed on Monday and Tuesday night because the original works 'did not meet our quality standards'.

Motorists said most of the road surface between the traffic lights and the roundabout came off in the recent heavy rains.

Transport Malta said similar repair works will also be carried out at Triq il-Wied, Iklin.
