Traffic disruptions reported on Cyprus highways due to road accidents

Recent traffic incidents have caused significant disruptions on major road arteries in Cyprus across two separate events. On September 16, 2026, traffic congestion occurred early in the morning near the Kalo Chorio roundabout on the Larnaca highway, reportedly triggered by two road accidents. Authorities monitored the situation as data from navigation services indicated extensive delays for commuters in that sector.

Separately, on the evening of September 17, 2026, a road collision led to the temporary closure of the right lane on the Limassol bypass in the direction of Paphos, near the Tsirio area. Police officers arrived at the scene to regulate traffic, assist with the situation, and perform necessary investigations. The involved vehicles remained stationary in the lane while towing services were arranged to clear the debris. Motorists were advised to drive at low speeds and maintain safe distances from leading vehicles while following police instructions to avoid further accidents during the cleanup process.
