Better Connectivity - More Open Spaces
The Msida Creek Project will incorporate facilities for alternative modes of travel, including cycling and walking. The project will also provide for a major upgrade and embellishment of the surrounding areas with new recreational zones. Around 60% of the Msida Creek Project will be dedicated to open public spaces, creating a more pleasant environment in the centre of this locality.
The new open spaces and recreational zones being created, will include a new 2,200 metres squared piazza in front of the Parish Church and a seawater channel, the latter also forming part of a plan to prevent flooding. This 300-metre channel will be surrounded with pathways in a landscaped area designated for recreational facilities.
The Msida Creek Project, envisioned to replace the current traffic light junctions with a new flyover, has moved a step closer to realisation. This is the first major road infrastructure project in Malta that integrates a comprehensive 10-year operations and maintenance period.
