PRESS RELEASE BY THE MINISTRY FOR INFRUSTRUCTURE, PLANNING AND EMPLOYMENT Msida Creek Project: Advanced works are underway to make key public spaces available to the community for the upcoming parish feast

The Msida Creek Project continues to progress steadily as works have now entered an important phase focused on preparing key public spaces within the main square area, including paving works and the installation of more accessible infrastructure for the entire community.

Minister for Infrastructure, Planning and Employment Jonathan Attard, accompanied by Infrastructure Malta Chief Executive Officer Steve Ellul, project managers and architects, visited the site where substantial progress across various sections of the project were observed, particularly within the main square, the church and its surroundings and the area in front of the Band Club.

“The project is steadily taking shape, and residents are already starting to benefit from the investment being made in this area. Our immediate priority is to ensure that key public spaces, including the new square and waterfront areas, are ready for the upcoming feast celebrations," said Minister Attard.

Significant progress has also been achieved along the waterfront promenade, where a large portion of the paving works has already been completed. Both the regenerated square and the waterfront promenade are expected to become accessible in the coming weeks.

“Important infrastructural works are also continuing in other parts of this project, including the installation of underground services, the construction of the water canal feature, the development of the underground car park, and other works related to the wider regeneration of public spaces. Once completed, this project will provide the community with a modern, accessible and attractive waterfront that will be enjoyed by present and future generations alike," Minister Attard added.

For his part, Chief Executive Officer Steve Ellul stated that the progress on this project has continued at a very rapid pace, this includes works in the pedestrian areas and not to mention the public open spaces, such as the new square. “Works will continue throughout the summer on what will be one of the project's most crucial elements, the canal, which will form a central feature of this development," said Mr Ellul.

This project is one of the largest urban regeneration initiatives in the country and is designed to improve connectivity, create high-quality public spaces and enhance accessibility for the entire community.

The Government and Infrastructure Malta remain committed to delivering this project responsibly and efficiently so that the residents of Msida and the general public as a whole can enjoy a more modern, accessible and sustainable environment, today and for the many years to come.
