Recent traffic disruptions on Cyprus motorways due to accidents and roadworks

Between October 4 and October 7, 2026, multiple incidents disrupted traffic across major Cypriot motorways. On October 4, a collision near the Livadia exit on the Larnaca–Ayia Napa highway caused significant congestion. This was followed on October 6 by two consecutive accidents near the Tsirio Stadium in Limassol, which affected traffic flow in both directions, and a separate collision on October 7 on the Nicosia–Limassol motorway near the Moni area, resulting in heavy traffic heading toward Limassol.

In addition to the collisions, maintenance work on the Limassol–Paphos motorway near the Kouklia weigh station led to the closure of two lanes on October 7. Traffic was diverted into the opposite lane, creating bi-directional flow. The situation was further complicated by severe weather conditions in the area. Police were present at all incident locations to conduct investigations, assist with traffic management, and ensure the safety of road users.

Authorities have consistently urged motorists to exercise caution, maintain low speeds, follow instructions from officers on the scene, and keep safe distances from vehicles ahead to prevent further incidents. Updates continue to be issued as investigations into the specific circumstances of each collision proceed and road conditions evolve.
