Work on Għadira Bay extension gets underway

Preliminary work on an extension to Għadira Bay have gotten underway with several cores being drilled along the length of the beach, Projects Malta said on Tuesday.

The cores are part of environmental studies which will need to be carried out in relation top the project in order for authorities to better understand what material is present beneath the bay’s sand.

In a statement, Projects Malta apologised for any inconvenience caused by the work, adding that representatives from the Malta Tourism Authority would be present on site to provide assistance or information when needed.
