Link road between Malta and Gozo islands : preliminary survey report : March 1972

Abstract

In compliance with the request of the Government of Malta, the Government of Japan agreed to extend its assistance in the road construction project which connects the Islands of Malta, Comino, and Gozo, and entrusted the Overseas Technical Cooperation Agency with its execution. The Agency, having full cognizance of the necessity for Malta to construct this connection road, organized a five-men team headed by Mr. Yoshimaro Matsuzaki, Manager of Planning Development Department of Honshu Shikoku Bridge Public Corporation, and despatched it Malta for a field survey which lasted from December 1, 1971 to December 20, 1971. The report hereby presented has been compiled on the basis of the findings of the field survey. It would give me a great pleasure if this report should serve to accelerate the development of this construction project and at once enhance the amity between Malta and Japan. I avail myself of this opportunity to express my heartiest gratitude to the competent Malta authorities, for their unlimited assistance and cooperation which were most valuable in the execution of survey activities.
