Road construction projects cause traffic disruptions in Kourion and Nicosia

Municipal authorities in Kourion and Nicosia have announced separate road infrastructure projects resulting in temporary traffic modifications during October 2026. These measures are designed to facilitate ongoing construction and maintenance work across the two regions.

In Kourion, the SLS Bypass Extension (Phase 3) has necessitated traffic regulations on the Akrotiri-Kolossi road from October 2 to October 29. One lane in the direction of Akrotiri to Limassol is closed, with traffic being managed alternately via temporary traffic lights. In Nicosia, the municipal authority announced that lane closures will occur on Grigori Afxentiou Street in the Agios Dometios district on Sunday, October 11, 2026. The work is scheduled between 06:00 and 16:00 to facilitate horizontal road marking. The closure affects the section between the intersections with Elysion and Delfon streets.

Drivers in both regions are urged to follow temporary signage and exercise patience. While the Kourion project is part of a multi-phase infrastructure expansion, the Nicosia project represents routine maintenance. Municipalities have expressed their apologies for potential inconvenience and requested public cooperation until the works are completed.
