Construction works on the Kitty Market are expected to resume shortly, as a $17.7 million contract has been awarded to BML Architects and Engineers for the completion of works in Phase One of the project.

The Kitty Market has been undergoing rehabilitation works since 2016 with the completion of the first phase long delayed. BML had previously done some work on the market.

The new works, which involves the construction and completion of stalls, tiling of the floor and completing the ceiling on the lower flat of the two-storey building, will be done for a sum of $17.7 million. This phase of the project is expected to be completed within six to eight weeks, Deputy City Engineer (ag) Rasheed Kellman said.
