Asphalting works at the Qawra junction last night proceeded faster than anticipated and works scheduled to be carried out tonight were completed as well. As as result, the junction will remain open to traffic tonight.
Works will continue as planned on Saturday when the final layer of asphalt will be applied on the junction.
It will be closed from 5am to 1pm (northbound) and to 8pm (southbound).
Drivers are urged to use alternative routes and avoid the area completely.
Those who need to access the area should follow the directions.
