Contract signed for the third phase of the Nicosia ring road

On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the Cypriot Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works signed a contract for the third phase of the Nicosia ring road project. The agreement covers the construction of a section spanning approximately 9.4 kilometers between Anthoupolis and Anagyia, with a total cost of 75,837,000 euros plus VAT. The contract was signed by Acting Director of the Public Works Department, Elpida Epaminonda, and representatives of the IACOVOU – CYFIELD PC joint venture, Georgios Iacovou and Efi Chrysochou, in the presence of Minister Evi Tsolaki.

The project, which is co-funded by the European Union through the Connecting Europe Facility, involves building two lanes in each direction, a full cloverleaf interchange, three grade-separated junctions, a 200-meter viaduct, and various overpasses and underpasses. It also includes an extension of Agios Georgios Avenue in Lakatamia. The construction work is scheduled to begin in January 2027 and is expected to span 40 months.

This infrastructure is part of the European Transport Corridors, specifically connecting the Baltic, Black, and Aegean Seas with the Western Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean. The government aims to alleviate traffic congestion in the capital and improve daily transit. The project follows the completion of the first phase and ongoing development of the B3 phase.
