Vilimalé and Gulhifalhu to be connected this week as Thilamalé Bridge reaches 80 percent
Construction of the Thilamalé Bridge (Greater Malé Connectivity Project) has reached 80.32 percent completion, with the final segment linking Vilimalé and Gulhifalhu expected to be installed before the end of October. The USD 500 million project, financed through an Indian Line of Credit and Maldivian government contributions, aims to connect Malé, Vilimalé, Gulhifalhu and Thilafushi by the end of 2027.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
