Nicosia updates traffic arrangements and begins infrastructure repairs

Starting Monday, October 5, 2026, the Nicosia Municipality is implementing a new phase of traffic adjustments for the "Regeneration of the Inner Perimeter Arch of the Moat" project. Construction section A2, the exit lane from Thermopylon Street to the Oxi roundabout, will reopen to vehicle traffic, restoring a direct route from the walled city to Stasinou Avenue and Eleftheria Square. However, other restrictions remain in place: section A3, spanning from the Oxi roundabout to the Promachonas Kostantza car park entrance, will stay closed until mid-December 2026. Additionally, section A4 remains closed, and the western part of Xanthi Xenierou street will continue operating as a cul-de-sac. The entire project is scheduled for completion in early 2027.

Separately, the Nicosia District Self-Government Organization (EOA) announced that infrastructure repairs begin on the same date for a reinforced concrete culvert beneath Digeni Akrita Avenue. The project, valued at over €2.25 million, addresses structural erosion caused by age and heavy traffic load on the Kotsirkas river conduit. This work is deemed critical for pedestrian and vehicular safety in one of the city's busiest areas.
