Waheed, who operates an auto repair shop in Hulhumale, also witnessed his business boom with the help of the bridge.

"Twelve employees in the shop are very busy every day. We can also drive a repaired car to Male for the customer if requested. It's impossible before the bridge was open to traffic," he said.

A survey conducted by the MCTCO showed that the connectivity enabled by the bridge has had positive social, economic and environmental impact on the Maldives.

"It has had huge positive impact on the livelihood of individuals as well as the business community," said MCTCO Vice President Saud, who went to China about 10 years ago to learn the Chinese language.
