The 6.74-kilometre Greater Malé Connectivity Project, which will link Malé, Villimalé, Gulhifalhu and Thilafushi, is being carried out with US$500 million in financial assistance from India and is the largest infrastructure development project in the history of the Maldives.
Work on the superstructure of the Malé–Villimalé section of the project was completed in August. President Dr. Muizzu has previously said the aim is to complete work on the entire bridge within about a year.
