President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has conducted an on-site inspection today to review progress on the Boduthakurufaanu Magu Road Development Project.
The President visited the active construction zone on the northern segment of Boduthakurufaanu Magu, in the Fish Market area, to assess the status of works under Phase II of the project. Upon arrival, he was received by the Minister of Construction, Housing and Infrastructure, Dr Abdulla Muththalib.
The 2nd segment of the project encompasses the southern stretch of Boduthakurufaanu Magu, extending from the Fish Market area to the North Harbour. Planned works include road widening, installation of modern drainage systems, and application of tarmac surface dressing. The Ministry has scheduled completion of the section between Izzuddin Jetty and the Fish Market ahead of Ramadan.
The Boduthakurufaanu Magu development project was awarded to the Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) on 9 April 2025. Upon completion, the roadway will be upgraded to contemporary urban standards, with enhanced traffic capacity and improved safety and comfort for both motorists and pedestrians.
Following land reclamation undertaken as part of the project, the segment between the Fish Market and Izzuddin Jetty, adjacent to Republic Square, has already been expanded to a four‑lane configuration, finished with tarmac surfacing, and opened to the public in December 2025.
