The Qormi council has called on Infrastructure Malta to close down a dangerous junction in the Mrieħel bypass, rather than build a flyover which in turn would take up agricultural land.
Environmental NGO Moviment Graffitti had last week revealed plans by Infrastructure Malta (IM) to create a flyover structure to ensure safer access to and from the Mrieħel industrial estate onto the bypass. However, the flyover project would also be taking up agricultural land equivalent to the size of three football pitches.
