Corporation Awarded Dhanbidhoo Roads Development Contract

The Road Development Corporation (RDC) has been contracted to undertake the modernization of the road network in L. Dhanbidhoo, marking a significant milestone in the Government’s ongoing programme to enhance island-level infrastructure and improve the quality of life for communities across the atolls.

The project agreement was signed between the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Infrastructure and RDC during the official visit of His Excellency President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu to Laamu Atoll. The occasion underscored the Government’s continued commitment to strengthening national connectivity, improving public infrastructure, and supporting balanced regional development.

The agreement was signed on behalf of the Government by the Minister of Construction, Housing and Infrastructure, Dr. Abdulla Muththalib, while RDC was represented by its Managing Director, Mr. Ibrahim Nazeem. The signing formalized RDC’s responsibility for the implementation of the project in accordance with national standards and development priorities.

The Dhanbidhoo Roads Development Project aims to upgrade the island’s existing road network to modern standards, with a focus on improving road durability, drainage, and overall safety. The project is expected to enhance accessibility for residents, facilitate the smooth movement of vehicles and pedestrians, and support essential services and economic activities on the island.

Upon completion, the upgraded road infrastructure will contribute to improved living conditions, reduced maintenance challenges, and stronger connectivity within the island, aligning with the Government’s broader vision of sustainable and resilient infrastructure development throughout the Maldives.
