Two main pillars of the ‘China-Maldives Friendship Bridge’ under construction between Malé and the airport island were joined Saturday night.
“The first two pillars out of CMFB’s main pillars (pier 22 and pier 23) to be connected with the superstructure were connected last night,” Housing Minister Dr Mohamed Muizz tweeted.
“Work on the bridge is progressing according to schedule.”
The government hopes to open the bridge before presidential elections in September. Concrete works and the main steelwork would be completed by the first week of July, Muizz previously said.
