Msida Creek curve is ‘only temporary’, Infrastructure Malta CEO reassures 

Infrastructure Malta CEO Steve Ellul has assured that a curve in the Msida Creek project is only temporary.

Concerns were raised after Newsbook published a video of coaches, buses and other large vehicles struggling to navigate through the curve.  

Newsbook said that 13 large vehicles passed through the area in the span of half an hour, and all of them got stuck. 

However, Ellul told BusinessNow.mt that the yellow markings around the curve indicate it is a temporary traffic diversion. 

The Msida Creek flyover was launched last month but the project is still ongoing and is officially scheduled for completion in 2027. Focus will now turn to embellishment, along with minor infrastructural works.

Shrubs and trees will be planted in the area, a multi-storey car park will be built with a non-intrusive design, and a long underground water well and channel will be set up to tackle the area’s notorious flooding problem.

Meanwhile, the boċċi pitch will be rebuilt with modern facilities, new family parks will be created, and a proposed pedestrian bridge connecting the two Kulleġġ bus stops will allow cars to freely pass through the flyover without having to stop at a pelican crossing.
