Cyprus announces tender for adaptive traffic light systems in Nicosia and Limassol

The Cypriot Department of Public Works at the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works has launched a tender for the supply, installation, and operation of vehicle-actuated signal (VA) systems. The project targets 15 major junctions, comprising seven in Nicosia and eight in Limassol, with an estimated budget of €41,900 excluding VAT.

The project aims to implement adaptive traffic control by utilizing above-ground detectors (AGD) to monitor vehicle flow in real-time. This dynamic adjustment of signaling is intended to reduce traffic congestion, minimize wait times, and improve overall road safety and operational efficiency across the selected urban axes.

The tender was announced on August 17, 2026, with an application deadline of September 18, 2026. The contract will be awarded based on the most economically advantageous offer. Following the procurement process, work is scheduled to commence in early October 2026, with a total implementation duration of three months. Equipment will be covered by a manufacturer’s warranty of at least 24 months, and the project is fully funded by national resources.
