Contract signed for Pedieos River path extension in Lakatamia

On Tuesday, October 27, 2026, the Department of Town Planning and Housing announced the signing of a construction contract to extend the pedestrian and bicycle path along the Pedieos River in Pano Lakatamia. The project, valued at €2,044,380.79 plus VAT, is scheduled for completion within a 20-month timeframe.

The contract covers the construction of an 850-meter-long path, a small square, a parking area, tree planting, and urban lighting installation. Additionally, a Pelican-type pedestrian crossing will be built to ensure safety. The project is jointly funded by the Department of Town Planning and Housing, which covers two-thirds of the costs, and the Lakatamia Municipality, which covers the remaining third.

This initiative is part of the Ministry of Interior’s Strategic Plan, specifically targeting the sustainable upgrade of the built and natural environment. Other similar projects under this plan include the recently completed renovation of the traditional core of Apesia and ongoing works in Pelendri. Once the 20-month construction period concludes, the public will gain access to the expanded route, which aims to enhance urban mobility and promote alternative transportation methods in the region.
