Heavy traffic is being reported near Salini and Kennedy Grove due to ongoing roadworks in the area.
Last week, the Water Services Corporation reported a road closure to be established between the 8th of May and 15th of June in part of Triq is-Salina, Naxxar.
On the morning of the day the road closures were set to begin, heavy traffic was instantly reported as people commuted to various destinations around the island.
Facebook page Maltese Roads Traffic Updates warned commuters of a gridlock in the area, urging drivers to either avoid or re-route.
The grid lock has reinvigorated calls for better transportation options around the islands, which have grown in recent months.
‘An island the Size of a postage stamp just can’t handle all these cars’ said one. ‘My heart goes to all students sitting for their Matsec Exams’ said another.
Another doubted whether rerouting could be an option due to a lack of access to certain areas except through the currently gridlocked roads.
