Concerns raised over road quality on the new Tsada route

On September 17, 2026, Andreas Kyriakou, President of the PPOCH, addressed a formal letter to the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works regarding significant issues with the newly constructed road to Tsada. Drivers have reported that the road surface is uneven, with some describing the experience of driving as feeling like being on a boat, suggesting major defects in the construction quality.

In his inquiry, Kyriakou demands clarification on the oversight processes and the specific criteria used during the final inspection and acceptance of the project. He questions who was responsible for supervising the works and whether standardized measurements for road surface smoothness were conducted as required by official regulations. The letter highlights a lack of clarity regarding accountability for the current state of the infrastructure.

While the Department of Public Works has reportedly provided initial feedback, the situation remains a point of contention. The PPOCH is pushing for a transparent investigation to determine if the road was delivered up to professional standards and who should be held liable for the reported irregularities that currently compromise driver safety and comfort.
