Road Development Corporation Limited (RDC) has revealed that the equipment and machinery needed for the modernisation of Ameenee Magu have been brought to Male' City.
Speaking to PSM News, RDC said that it brought all the materials required for laying asphalt on Ameenee Magu. After preparations, Ameenee Magu will be ready for the laying of asphalt in March, according to RDC.
The state-owned company began the practical work of redeveloping Ameenee Magu in Male' on September 12. The company commenced the first segment of the project by closing off a part of the road in Henveiru that connects to Boduthakurufaanu Magu. RDC has since completed the segment.
RDC began work on the second segment on December 3. The segment consists of 136m of the road between Irudheymaa Hingun and Kalaafaanu Hingun. Observers from utility and telecommunications companies are at the site as workers install the pipes, the stormwater drainage network, and curbstones. The second segment has now been completed with work on the third segment to commence soon.
The modernisation of Ameenee Magu, one of the main roads connecting all the wards of the city, will be carried out in 13 segments. The contract was signed between RDC and the Ministry of National Planning, Housing and Infrastructure on July 3. The project involves paving the whole 1.7km length of Ameenee Magu with asphalt and installing a new stormwater drainage system. The project was contracted to RDC at a price of USD5.5 million. The duration of the project is seven months.
