All-night works use 277 tonnes of concrete for Marsa flyover deck

Workers poured 277 tonnes of concrete on part of the deck of the highest flyover of the Marsa junction project as works continued at a brisk pace.

The detail was disseminated by Infrastructure Malta CEO Fredrick Azzopardi on Twitter as works on the massive road junction project progress day and night.

Last night @InfraMalta contractors poured 277t of concrete to form the deck slab of another stretch of the 7 #MarsaJunctionProject flyovers. 3 flyovers will meet at this 4-lane deck 3 storeys above ground. Working 7 days a week to open these flyovers to road users soon. pic.twitter.com/RNFS7vfjDp

The section of road where the concrete was poured forms part of a four-lane deck that will act as the meeting point for three flyovers. This section of the multi-level junction is three storeys above the ground.

The new works have necessitated the re-routing of traffic in the area, with northbound vehicles now passing beneath the steel beams of one of the flyovers that will connect Aldo Moro Road with the hill leading up to Luqa.

Works on the massive road project are ongoing, seven days a week

Turkish workers employed on the Marsa junction project are toiling seven days a week on this important node of the road network that is a gateway to the south of the island.

Turkish construction firm Ayhanlar Yol Asfaltlama was awarded the €40 million bid to deliver the Marsa junction project that consists of seven flyovers, providing seamless flow between northbound and southbound traffic in the area.
