The ministry of housing and infrastructure has awarded an MVR40 million (US$2.5 million) project to develop an artificial beach in Malé’s western waterfront to the state-owned Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC).
The capital’s second artificial beach is to be developed with a recreational area, fishing pier, waterfront pavilion, beachfront park, waterfront promenade, underground parking facility, cafés, dive spots, waterfront residential mix, and a fort.
“By December of this year, citizens of Malé, especially Maafannu, will be able to swim in the [new] artificial beach,” housing minister Dr Mohamed Muiz said at the contract signing ceremony on Monday.
The project is expected to be completed in 120 days, he said.
