The first phase of the Ameenee Magu, which was started during the previous government, will be completed and opened on Wednesday morning.
The Ministry of Construction and Infrastructure said in an X post on Wednesday evening:
-
The junction between Ameenee Magu and Izzuddin Magu and the junction between Kanba-Aisa-Rani street and Ameenee Magu will be opened to traffic at 6 am, Wednesday
-
Segments 12 and 13 of Ameenee Magu will be fully open
The Road Development Corporation (RDC) was awarded the contract in March last year to develop the road by dividing the road into 13 segments, 11 out of which was completed by the previous government. After that:
-
After the presidential election last September, the project was put on hold
-
The work was resumed, on 9th last month by this government
-
All the remaining unfinished sections were paved and completed last Sunday; they are the remaining sections from the Radio Building to the west of Ameenee Magu
MVR 84.4 million was spent on the development of Ameenee Magu. The former Planning Ministry, which had assigned the RDC to complete the work within 210 days, delayed it and gave a date for September last year. The work was not completed by that date and later it was said that the work would be carried out by the new government.
