Manwel Dimech Bridge

The Manwel Dimech Bridge is a road bridge in St. Julian's that spans the Wied Għomor valley with four traffic lanes. It stands about 40 meters high and links different parts of the city through a major route.

The bridge opened in September 1971 through a partnership with the Chinese government. It was built as part of the Mikiel Anton Vassalli Road project that modernized city connections.

The bridge is named after Manwel Dimech, a Maltese social reformer who championed workers' rights and education in the early 1900s. Walking across it, you are reminded of a figure who fought for better conditions for ordinary people.

The bridge has a speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour and is open to vehicles at all times. It connects important routes toward Paceville, so expect congestion during busy periods.

The structure underwent major renovation in 2023, receiving structural reinforcements and improvements to the valley below. This modernization has significantly extended the bridge's lifespan and shows ongoing investment in Malta's roads.
