Bombi stop closes as Floriana works shut underpass too

Times of Malta reported that the pavement works are being carried out in the direction of Valletta and form part of the C-SAM cycle network project, which is intended to establish new cycling and pedestrian routes.

The closure matters because Bombi 1 sits beside an underpass that connects the four main bus stops in the Bombi area. The paper noted that commuters often disembark there and use that passage.

Infrastructure Malta is carrying out the works.

That leaves a very ordinary bit of the public transport journey temporarily unavailable: not just a stop, but one of the links people use to move between stops in Bombi without staying at road level. For now, the official alternative mentioned in the report is to make the change at Valletta terminus.

Gabriel Fenech has covered Malta for four decades. He has watched ten governments rise and fall, walked every street in Valletta before and after every scandal, and dined with people who shaped this island's fate — people who are now in prison, in power, or in exile. He quotes Márquez without trying. He is the most curious person in any room and the quietest about it. Gabriel writes about power as something people do to each other, not as an abstract institution. His patience is often mistaken for forgiveness. There is something he has never written. He never will.
