New Rs 332 Million Roundabout Opens Near Ebene Tribeca Mall
A new road link near Tribeca shopping centre in Ebene opened on 28 October, giving northbound drivers direct motorway access without passing through Reduit.
Drivers in and around Ebene, the business and commercial hub located in the centre of Mauritius, now have a new route option following the inauguration of a roundabout on the B1-M1 Link Road on 28 October.
The new junction sits close to Tribeca, one of the island's largest shopping and lifestyle centres, and is designed to ease congestion in an area that becomes heavily clogged during morning and evening rush hours.
The most practical benefit for many road users is a direct connection to the M1 motorway, the main north-south artery of Mauritius, without having to detour through the Reduit area. Previously, drivers leaving Tribeca heading north faced a longer route that often added time and frustration during peak periods. The new link gives them a more direct path onto the motorway.
The project cost approximately Rs 332 million and was carried out by Transinvest Construction Ltd, a Mauritian civil engineering firm. Technical oversight was provided by GIBB Engineering, and the entire scheme was supervised by the Road Development Authority (RDA), the government body responsible for building and maintaining the national road network.
The Ebene zone has grown rapidly over the past two decades into a dense mix of office towers, residential buildings, retail outlets and a cybercity. That growth has consistently outpaced road infrastructure, making traffic management in the area a long-standing complaint for commuters, employees and shoppers alike.
The B1-M1 Link Road roundabout is intended to redistribute traffic flow more evenly across the network, reducing the bottlenecks that build up on the existing roads around Tribeca and the Ebene junction with the main highway.
What this means for drivers: if you regularly travel north from Ebene, whether commuting to Port Louis or heading toward Pamplemousses and beyond, this new roundabout should shorten your journey and reduce the time spent in queues near the Tribeca area. It is particularly relevant for the thousands of people who work in the Ebene Cybercity and surrounding office parks.
