City Gate project work reaches final phase

The Valletta City Gate Project is nearing completion as embellishment work in the area known as the il-Biskuttin in Floriana has been finished and the area re-opened to the public.

Work is expected to be completed by the end of the year, before Valletta begins its year as European Capital of Culture.

The €10 million embellishing work at the entrance to Malta’s capital city complemented the €24 million in EU funds being used to regenerate the lower part of Valletta, a Department of Information statement said.

Both projects are being led by the Grand Harbour Regeneration Corporation.
