Lefkara municipality calls for urgent safety improvements to Skarinou-Kofinou road

On Tuesday, representatives from the Lefkara municipality, the Ministry of Justice, the Public Works Department, and the traffic police held a meeting in Lefkara to address safety concerns regarding the old Skarinou-Kofinou road. The mayor of Lefkara, Sofoklis Sofokleous, characterized the current state of the road as extremely dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians.

The discussions focused on the urgent need to implement safety measures, as the road has experienced a recent increase in both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, raising the risk of accidents. Municipal officials highlighted that necessary improvements must include road widening, the installation of proper lighting, and the creation of dedicated pedestrian facilities. Sofokleous emphasized that protecting human life is the primary concern and urged the state services to avoid further delays in executing these upgrades.

While the municipality expressed its commitment to continuing collaboration with relevant state authorities to find viable solutions, no specific timeline for the commencement of construction works was announced. The authorities remain tasked with reviewing the condition of the infrastructure to prevent future incidents.
