Ministry of Construction and Infrastructure has revealed that parts of the last two segments of Ameenee Magu has been opened to the public.
The ministry has stated the junction between Ameenee Magu and Izzuddeen Magu, as well as the junction between Kanba Aisa Rani Hingun and Ameenee Magu, are now accessible to the public. The completion of asphalt laying for these segments by the Road Development Corporation (RDC) on January 7 marked the conclusion of the project within 28 days. RDC stated that drawing of traffic signs along these newly developed road sections are underway.
Furthermore, the ministry said segments 12 and 13 of Ameenee Magu are slated to be open to the public on January 13.
The Ameenee Magu redevelopment project, initiated by the previous government, faced delays and suspension due to the presidential election last year. The remaining segments, 12 and 13, commenced redevelopment on December 9, incorporating four lanes to enhance public convenience upon completion.
The redevelopment of Ameenee Magu is a key priority in President Dr. Muizzu's 14-week roadmap. The administration has allocated USD5.5 million to the project, which aims to redevelop and modernise the whole 1.7km length of Ameenee Magu.
Ameenee Magu is one of the busiest roads in Male’ City due to the large number of office buildings and schools in the area. It is also one of the few roads that run across the length of the capital city and is the main network for utility services. The road also connects the traffic to all areas of the city but has been in poor condition for years.
