Infrastructure Malta (IM) has completed the final phase of the new €3.5 million pedestrian and cycling overpass at It-Tiġrija Road, Marsa. This was announced by Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects Aaron Farrugia and Perit Raphael Abdilla from Infrastructure Malta.
Minister Farrugia said that this multi-million investment is contributing to improved pedestrian, public transport and cycling access between different localities and areas around the new bridges and subways, providing increased levels of safety and an enhanced commute experience for all modes of transport.
This new segregated crossing opened a safer walking and cycling route between different residential areas of Marsa and the centre of Qormi (through Il-Ġerrejja Alley).
The agency had completed the first phase of the project, including the main bridge structure which features a 30-metre, 40-tonne tied-arch steel superstructure supported on two abutment towers situated on the sides of It-Tiġrija Road, the four-lane arterial road connecting December 13th Road with the Marsa-Ħamrun Bypass, along the principal TEN-T route of the Maltese islands.
The Tiġrija Road footbridge is the eighth segregated connection for pedestrians and cyclists that Infrastructure Malta added to the Maltese road network.
