Gov’t Completes Key Seawall Work on Bodu Thakurufaanu Magu Project

The Maldives Transport and Contracting Company has completed sheet piling for 143 metres of the inner seawall under the ongoing Bodu Thakurufaanu Magu road development project in the northern area of Malé.

The milestone marks the completion of the first phase of sheet piling works within the current construction zone, extending from the Official Jetty to the Henveiru Ferry Terminal.

MTCC, which is overseeing the project, stated that construction is progressing across four active segments under Phase 1. The phase is focused on upgrading and expanding approximately 700 metres of roadway.

The upgraded road is designed to meet modern urban infrastructure standards and will include wider road space, a comprehensive drainage system, tarmac surfacing, pavements, and street lighting. Sidewalk construction and additional sheet piling works are continuing in line with the engineering approach applied in previously completed sections.

A 380-metre section of Bodu Thakurufaanu Magu, stretching from Izzuddin Jetty to North Harbour, has already been completed and opened for public use, contributing to improved traffic flow and enhanced pedestrian access in the area.
