[WATCH] Asphalt applied to over 1km stretch of the Coast Road

One carriageway between Xatt il-Palm, Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq and White Rocks has been completely asphalted

The works of these past days on the Coast Road have been completed as planned, Transport Malta said in a statement.

Asphalt was applied to more than one kilometre stretch of the Coast Road, which means that one carriageway between Xatt il-Palm, Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq and White Rocks has been completely asphalted. 

Most of the seaside of the Coast Road is now asphalted.

"We are now laying asphalt on other parts of the road.  Our contractors are also doing finishing works in parts of the road; from line markings to crash barrier installations and light fixtures," the transport authority said.

Traffic in parts of the Coast Road is two-way but drivers are being asked to respect road signs. The signs show that the road is two-way, that no overtaking is allowed and the speed limit is 40 km/h.
