The southbound lanes of the Marsa-Ħamrun Bypass Flyover in Qormi will be closed today and Sunday after Infrastructure Malta found that the asphalt used was sub-standard.
The announcement was made yesterday on Infrastructure Malta’s (IM) social media platforms.
IM informed that a few weeks ago it asked its contractors to redo asphalt works on the Marsa-Hamrun Bypass flyover in Qormi, at their own expense.
