Limassol-Paphos highway closed following serious traffic accident

On Sunday, August 30, 2026, a serious traffic collision occurred on the Limassol-Paphos highway, leading to the closure of the road near the Avdimou exit in the direction of Paphos.

Police, ambulance crews, and members of the Fire Service have been deployed to the scene to facilitate traffic management and conduct investigations. The Fire Service is currently conducting an operation to extricate a driver who became trapped in the wreckage of their vehicle. The closure has caused significant traffic congestion, resulting in queues stretching for several kilometers along the affected route.

Authorities have advised motorists traveling toward Paphos to exit the highway at Avdimou and utilize the old Limassol-Paphos road as an alternative route. Drivers are strongly urged to exercise caution and maintain safe distances from vehicles in front of them until the scene is cleared.
