The closure comes as the first phase of the major Boduthakurufaanu Magu redevelopment project nears completion. The project contractor, Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC), is currently carrying out works on the fourth segment of the road.

MTCC has reported that upgrades to the sanitation system have been completed. The company has also completed 52 per cent of works related to pavement construction, water pipeline installation, kerbstone placement and the installation of cable junction boxes.

The company is scheduled to begin providing new water and sanitation connections in the area next week as work progresses.

The redevelopment of Boduthakurufaanu Magu is aimed at improving traffic flow around the capital and addressing persistent flooding issues during periods of heavy rainfall.
