Dock 1 project builds up momentum

Road works in Cospicua as part of the Dock One area rehabilitation project have been completed, several weeks ahead of the new schedule, Transport Minister Joe Mizzi said today. Speaking on the site of the much-delayed project, started by the previous administration, Mr Mizzi said that 80 per cent of the project will be completed by September. Paving works at Gavino Gulia Square will be taken in hand shortly and completed in November, well in time for the feast of the Immaculate Conception in Cospicua. Works are continuing on the promenade. The project includes a promenade going around the dock linking Vittoriosa, Cospicua and Senglea. There will also be a bridge across the dock mouth. Mr Mizzi said no decisions had been taken yet on the use of the old warehouses alongside one side of the old dock.
