Road upgrades and infrastructure maintenance announced in Nicosia

The Municipality of Nicosia has announced a series of infrastructure projects and maintenance work across various districts. Starting November 16, 2026, the first phase of a major upgrade begins on Myrtiotissis Street and a portion of Penelope Delta Street, involving road reconstruction, new drainage, and sidewalk improvements. These areas will remain closed to traffic for approximately four months.

Additionally, asphalt resurfacing is scheduled for Larnakos Avenue in the Aglantzia district, from the Dios street intersection to the Acropolis intersection. Work is set to take place between 16:00 on Saturday, November 14, and 19:00 on Sunday, November 15, 2026. Furthermore, on Sunday, November 15, horizontal signage will be applied at the public parking lot on Thali Street in the Agios Dometios district; the lot will be closed from 05:00 to 13:00, with vehicle owners required to vacate the area by 21:00 on November 14.

Separately, the Department of Public Works has initiated projects to add a third traffic lane to Strovou Avenue, near the Presidential Palace, to alleviate chronic traffic congestion. This project specifically targets the northward flow of traffic, aiming to improve commute times during peak hours.
