In 2019, Infrastructure Malta launched a €700 million, seven-year national investment to upgrade the quality of Malta's residential roads.

The rebuilding of each street includes the replacement or reinforcement of existing foundations, upgrading of existing pavements or building new ones, and the laying of new asphalt surfaces. The roads are then completed with the required safety systems, road markings, signage and other facilities.

Before laying the new road surfaces, Infrastructure Malta is also collaborating with the entities that have underground water, electricity or telecommunications distribution networks in these streets, so that they can be replaced or reinforced, as necessary, as part of this project.

A first for Malta, this investment is being implemented through contracts that group together the works required to upgrade the quality of many streets in different localities at the same time, rather than engaging in a long-winded process of separate contracts for each road that needs to be rebuilt. This new approach gives prospective bidders the ability to offer better quality materials and services at lower rates, maximising the return of this unprecedented investment to its ultimate beneficiaries, the residents of these streets. The first contract for the rebuilding of 120 streets was awarded towards the end of 2018 and contractors started works in the beginning of 2019. A second contract for the reconstruction of another 170 roads will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2019. More calls for offers for the rebuilding of other roads will continue to be issued every year until all residential roads in all localities are upgraded.

To be eligible for the contract for the reconstruction of these roads, contractors are being requested to confirm their technical capability to complete the works involved within the specified timeframes and at the established quality and safety standards. This ensures that contractors can actually meet the completion deadlines, minimising the risk of delayed works and related inconveniences to residents. Infrastructure Malta will be closely monitoring all works, to make sure that all works are adequately carried out, and completed on time.

After consulting local councils and other stakeholders, and after considering requests for assistance from many residents, Infrastructure Malta is determining the priority for the rebuilding of these roads based on an assessment of their current condition and other factors, such as their connection to other roads and areas within a locality, as well as frequency of use. In scheduling the works in each locality, Infrastructure Malta is also considering nearby activities that may be impacted by road works, such as tourist zones and schools.

Infrastructure Malta is committed to continue upgrading the quality, safety, efficiency and sustainability of the Maltese road network.
