The government awarded Thursday a project to build a platform for the public to view the ongoing construction of the China-Maldives Friendship bridge in Malé’s southeastern corner.
The local company chosen after a bidding process, Strada Pvt Ltd, will bear the MVR8 million (US$518,800) cost, according to the housing ministry.
Housing Minister Dr Mohamed Muiz, who signed the agreement on behalf of the government, told the press that the public should be able to observe the progress of the largest infrastructure project in the country’s history.
“The government believes it is a right of each Maldivian citizen for an arrangement to view up close how this is proceeding,” he said.
