Truck breakdown obstructs traffic on Limassol-Paphos motorway

On August 22, 2026, a traffic obstruction occurred on the Limassol-Paphos motorway in the direction of Paphos. The left lane of the highway was closed following the Agios Sylas exit due to a mechanical breakdown of a heavy vehicle.

While early reports identified the vehicle generally as a truck, later reporting specified that the vehicle is a cement mixer. Local authorities, including the Cyprus Police, have been alerted to the situation. Officials are advising motorists to exercise caution, maintain lower speeds, and observe safe following distances from vehicles ahead to avoid incidents in the affected area.

The obstruction remains in effect as of the latest reports on the afternoon of August 22. Drivers traveling toward Paphos are urged to monitor traffic updates and follow instructions from the authorities on the scene as efforts to clear the lane continue.
