The final phase of the Coast Road project commences today, Transport Malta said.

It will not be possible for cars to drive south through the road next to the Salt Pans. Southbound drivers will instead be diverted around the area through the t’Alla u Ommu road and then into Maghtab to join the nearly completed part of the Coast Road. The south bound traffic will now be using the same route which has been used by the northbound traffic for some time.

The prescribed diversion is the best alternative to avoid potential congestion in the Naxxar and Iklin intersections for those travelling south beyond these 2 villages.

Transport Malta appealed once again for motorists to follow the signs vigilantly, use the southbound Coast Road through the Magħtab access road and to drive safely. This includes keeping to the national and local speed limits, no overtaking as well as showing courtesy to all the other road users.
