PRESS RELEASE BY THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARIAT FOR PUBLIC WORKS More investment for Marsa and its residents – new infrastructure that ensures health and safety

In recent months, Marsa and its surrounding areas have been at the centre of the Government's efforts, as well as its future plans, as an integral part of the country's socio-economic development.

This is evidenced by the infrastructural works carried out in a number of residential streets by the Public Works Department, together with the regeneration of Marsa's core and the launching of The Grand Harbour Revival Plan led by the Grand Harbour Regeneration Corporation (GHRC).

The Public Works Department played a key role in ensuring that residents of Triq San Franġisk, Triq Enrico Sacco, and Triq San Mikiel benefit from improved infrastructure that provides greater peace of mind.

During a visit by the Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works, Omar Farrugia, following the completion in recent days of extensive works in these three residential streets, he was able to see first-hand the holistic improvement delivered to the Marsa community through the work of the Public Works Department.

Parliamentary Secretary Omar Farrugia stated that this investment forms part of the Government's ongoing commitment to improving residents' quality of life. “This project is not just about new roads and pavements, but about direct investment in the people of Marsa. We are working to build modern, safe, and sustainable infrastructure that meets today's needs and those of the future, while continuing to strengthen our communities and create a better environment in which to live and work."

For his part, Marsa mayor, Luke Farrugia, said that “Never before have Marsa and its residents seen such a level of direct investment in the locality, an investment that bodes well for Marsa's future."

With an investment of approximately €370,000, new trenches were excavated to install new water distribution pipelines along the three streets, each measuring 165 metres in length. The project also included new asphalt surfacing for all three roads and new pavements on both sides, as well as the replacement of all service connections linking the infrastructure to residential properties.
