Road closures and weather warnings issued across Cyprus

On September 30, 2026, severe weather conditions significantly impacted the road network in Cyprus. Intense rainfall was reported on the Astromeritis-Evrychou road, leading the police to issue an urgent advisory for drivers to exercise caution, maintain low speeds, and keep safe distances from other vehicles due to reduced visibility.

In addition to the rain, the mountainous road network faced structural challenges. The Pyrgos-Kampos road was officially closed to traffic following a landslide that deposited rocks and soil on the roadway. Authorities have advised motorists to utilize alternative routes until the cleaning operations are completed and the road is deemed safe for travel. Furthermore, separate reports from the Politis newspaper indicate that rock and soil slides have also affected the Pedoulas-Kykkos-Kampos road, requiring motorists to exercise extreme caution in the area.

Police and local authorities remain on alert as they monitor the ongoing impact of the weather. No specific reopening times have been announced, and drivers are encouraged to follow official updates and instructions from police officers on-site until the cleanup process concludes.
