MTCC has announced that under the Boduthakurufaanu Magu development project, asphalt will be laid on the area now under development this Wednesday.

On March 23, parts of the road were closed to the public and development work was commenced. 

MTCC said that the asphalt works will be conducted in two separate phases. First, asphalt will be laid at the stretch of the road spanning from Henveiru Terminal to the Foreign Ministry. Once this is complete, asphalt will then be laid in the area from Foreign Ministry to the official jetty. 

The company said that in preparation for this work, the area of the road from Henveiru Terminal to the Carnival Parking Zone will be temporarily closed. Despite road closure, vehicles will continue to be able to access the parking area itself. 

Last Monday, MTCC Managing Director Ahmed Saudhy told Mihaaru News that the development of Boduthakurufaanu Magu is expected to reach completion ahead of July 26. 

The company announced that under phase one of the project, sewerage and water lines, main water pipes, stormwater catchpit and cable junction works have also now been completed. 

Work on the road's pavements are also halfway done, with current efforts on segment 2 and 3, MTCC said.
