The project to develop Ameenee Magu was contracted by the Planning Ministry to the Road Development Corporation (RDC) – which subcontracted asphalt works to Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC).

MTCC completed work on laying asphalt in 380 meters of roads in a single night on February 14.

State Minister for Planning Akram Kamaluddin states they expect to be able to complete laying asphalt on the entire Ameenee Magu in July.
