The authorities in Malta continue to examine options with regard to a road link connecting to the neighbouring island of Gozo. A competition was put forward to design a new bridge link between Malta and Gozo by 3278 ITS Malta.

However the authorities are now evaluating the feasibility of building a tunnel. Should the bridge link be a preferred option it would be routed through the small island of Comino that lies in-between Malta and Gozo. Should any potential project look sufficiently promising, funding external to Malta will have to be sourced as the Maltese Government has not budgeted for the necessary finances that would be required to construct a bridge.

Enquiries regarding the bridge competition can be made through ITS Malta: www.itsmalta.org or through contacting Dr Philip Agius of the organisation: [email protected]
