The project has been awarded to Maldives Transport and Contracting Company. Authorities have not disclosed further details of the scope of the development.
The Tsunami Monument was built in remembrance of those who lost their lives in the 2004 tsunami. It was originally located in the area now occupied by the Sinamalé Bridge and was relocated in 2016 to the Thin Ruh Park area on the western side of Malé.
