Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) said that asphalt paving on Segment 2 of Ameenee Magu is now complete, marking a major step forward in the overhaul of one of Malé City’s primary roads.
According to MTCC, the completed works will deliver a smoother, more convenient commute for residents while fostering a better-connected and more accessible urban centre.

The major reconstruction project was originally launched in response to public complaints regarding the daily challenges commuters faced navigating the severely damaged road surface near the Harbour Food Court area. Beyond resurfacing the main carriageway, the broader scope of the renovation includes redesigning pedestrian pavements in key locations, such as bus stops.
Following the earlier completion of Segment 1, which spans from Izzuddin Magu to the park near Dharumavantha Hospital, work has now concluded on Segment 2 as well.
MTCC initially launched asphalt paving for Segment 1 on September 19, after completing foundational Aggregate Base Course (ABC) laying and applying an MC-30 prime coat along the western end.
However, the ongoing construction along Ameenee Magu continues to cause temporary transit disruptions in Maafannu. Due to restricted access near Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH), buses operating on the Hulhumalé route are currently unable to serve stops in the immediate hospital vicinity.
Passengers are instead being directed to the main bus terminal located in front of the jogging track on Boduthakurufaanu Magu.
These transit adjustments coincide with additional traffic changes nearby, as MTCC has also closed one side of Boduthakurufaanu Magu in the West Park area to prepare for Phase Three of its major redevelopment project.
