In order not to disturb the work, Transport Malta said that Regional Road direction to Imsida will be closed to traffic between 10:30pm and 11:00pm. During this time, it added, traffic will be diverted onto Triq Reggie Miller while those passing through the other directions of Regional Road can proceed unhindered.

In a statement, Transport Malta also reminded the public that there is no access from Kappara towards Gżira, however most of Sliema Road remains accessible through Rue D’Argens. Furthermore, the bus lanes in Sliema and Gżira are temporarily suspended to help ease traffic exiting from Sliema area. 

Transport Malta also said that in order to help ease the flow, the traffic lights on the same road are set to flashing amber which means proceed with caution.

In Mgarr workers will be following up on previous works on the storm water system in Ghajn Tuffieha Road, and will use a crane again to pick up the machinery. For safety reasons, Transport Malta is closing the road between 03:00am and 05:00am.
