No Quality Issues with Thilamalé Bridge, Minister Assures

Minister of Construction and Infrastructure Abdulla Muththalib dismissed social media concerns about structural defects in the Thilamalé Bridge during a site visit. He stated that perceived bends are due to viewing angles and that the bridge is being built with precision using interconnected segments. Once completed, the bridge will connect Malé, Vilimalé, Gulhifalhu, and Thilafushi, forming a key link in the Greater Malé region. Authorities expect a significant portion to be finished by the end of next year.
