Transport Malta started works to widen Vjal ix-Xarolla in Żurrieq this morning, the company said in a statement.  The contractor is clearing the area to be widened and will build new retaining walls.  

Following these works, Transport Malta will re-construct the road completely to have an additional carriageway along Vjal ix-Xarolla extending all the way to Triq il-Kuċċard in Safi.

The Authority will replace the existing services, install new ones and will form a service road with parking for residents.  
 
Transport Malta is investing €1.8 million on this project, which was announced during the last Budget Speech.  People of the area have long been asking for this project which is expected to regenerate the neighbourhood.  

Works were scheduled to start after summer, in agreement with the local council, so as not to obstruct the local festivities.
