Malé’s badly damaged roads getting a makeover
04 Oct 2016, 9:00 AM
Malé City’s badly damaged roads are getting a long-anticipated makeover, with the housing ministry promising a more efficient storm water drainage system, fire hydrants, new pavement blocks and access for the disabled on rebuilt streets.
A three-block segment on the western end of Malé’s thoroughfare, Majeedhee Magu, was closed off on Saturday as part of the MVR15million (US$972,700) project to repair and upgrade the capital city’s roads.
Workers are removing pavement blocks and will be levelling the ground before laying new blocks.
Majeedhee Magu will be divided into nine segments and each segment will be closed for two weeks, according to a four-month schedule posted online by the housing ministry.
