On July 24, 2026, the Cypriot Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Alexis Vafeades, met with mayors of the greater Limassol area at the Agios Athanasios Cultural Centre to address severe traffic congestion. The meeting focused on a strategic plan to prioritize infrastructure projects and urban interventions, with a total budget of 493 million euros. The proposed improvements are categorized by implementation timeline and include short and medium-term actions, such as the optimization of road junctions, new roundabout constructions, and the installation of smart traffic management systems, including Urban Traffic Control (UTC) to coordinate traffic lights and improve transit flow.

Key infrastructure projects outlined in the government's investment plan include the Limassol–Saittas motorway, estimated at 80 million euros, the second parallel road between Germasogeia and Agios Athanasios at 24 million euros, and the Ypsonas–Polemidia northern bypass at 60 million euros. Other immediate tasks involve upgrading the Agios Athanasios and Anikodomiseos junction and developing a new motorway exit at Pyrgos. This meeting, which included technical experts and representatives from the Public Works Department, marks the first phase of a broader effort to resolve long-standing traffic issues in the city through government-backed upgrades and compensations tied to major private developments.
