Road Development Corporation (RDC) has begun preparations to tar 15 roads as part of the Male' City road development project.
The contract for the road development project was signed on October 11, 2021, by the Mayor of Male’ City Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, and Managing Director of RDC Moosa Ali Manik. The project signed with RDC includes an upgraded scope of work compared to the Male' Streetscaping Project contracted to the corporation by the previous city council. Under the new project, RDC is tasked with refurbishing a total of 105 roads spanning 18km. The most significant change to the project is for RDC to tar 15 roads, which includes some of the most used roads in the city. The company plans to begin the project at Ameenee Magu.
Male' City Council has said the main purpose of amending the contract with RDC is to ensure the completion of the project within a shorter time-frame. As such, the council noted RDC is contracted to redevelop 105 roads within a duration of two years, under the new contract.
Furthermore, Male' City Council stated major changes will be brought to the northern harbour area with the expansion of roads to ease traffic congestion, allow easier parking as well as load and unloading of goods. The council stated the roads in the northern area will also be made greener and more accessible to people with special needs.
