MTCC was first contracted to do the project in March 2016 at a cost of MVR 28m (USD 1.8m). Work began in December 2016, and the project was completed in January 2019 (as per MTCC).
Following the environmental damage and loss caused by the causeway to the communities of Madaveli and Hoadedhdhoo and the conflict that led residents to break the causeway multiple times over subsequent years, MTCC has been once again contracted to build the causeway, at a cost of MVR 84.1m (USD 5.4m).
This brings the total estimated cost of the project to date, to MVR 112m (USD 7.2m).
