Repair work on the damaged section of Ameenee Magu was carried out in two segments, both of which are now complete. Segment 1, stretching from the Voice of Maldives (Dhivehi Raajjeyge Adu) to Dharumavantha Hospital, is ready to reopen to traffic.
For Segment 2, asphalt laying has also been finished at the four-way intersection in front of the Voice of Maldives, where the old asphalt layer was removed, and underlying utility networks were reorganised.
With the asphalt paving completed, ongoing work now focuses on painting road markings and other finishing touches. The Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development stated that once all work is fully completed, the road will open for public traffic on Sunday.
The Ministry also said that work will next commence on Segment 3. This segment covers the area stretching from Izzuddin Magu to Koaru Kendi Hingun.
The construction of Ameenee Magu was initiated by the former MDP government. However, the final segment of the project was completed after the new government took office.
Repairs on the Maafannu section of Ameenee Magu were undertaken due to severe deterioration and potholes in the asphalt, which severely hindered vehicle movement.
Preparations are also underway to launch the development project for the outer ring road on the western side of the capital. In line with this, a section of the West Park area has now been closed off to carry out stormwater drainage system works.
Under the project to pave and modernise Boduthakurufaanu Magu, work has been fully completed for the segment stretching from the Henveiru Ferry Terminal to North Harbour.
