This project consists of the upgrading of the existing roundabout junction at Node EA15 to a grade separated junction with the aim to eliminate the current bottleneck which is the cause of daily traffic queues and extended journey times for road users. Malta’s Action Plan towards the Transport Ex-ante Conditionality and the draft Transport Master Plan (2015-2025), identifies this Project as a priority project. Implementation is programmed between 2016 and 2018. Being the busiest section of the Comprehensive TEN-T network in Malta, with a daily traffic volume in excess of 90,000 vehicles, the current at-grade layout of roads and junctions cannot accommodate the high volumes of traffic. The removal of this major traffic bottleneck will improve connectivity, accessibility, safety, sustainability and reduce significant negative environmental, social and economic impacts resulting from transport externalities.
