Impact studies should be made before the proposed new roads project in the heart of Msida is approved, local council minority leader Charles Selvaggi has insisted.
The project, first announced in 2019, will see roads agency Infrastructure Malta build flyovers and wider roads at the Msida junction, removing traffic lights in a bid to ease congestion. It has attracted a wave of criticism from lobby groups.
In a statement published on Monday, a number of environment NGOs said the project has sparked concern about its long-term viability.
Selvaggi told Times of Malta that he had written to the other councillors requesting a meeting to discuss the project.
