Scheduled motorway tunnel maintenance and recent traffic accidents in Cyprus

Authorities in Cyprus have announced that the Paphos-bound tunnel on the Limassol–Paphos motorway will undergo scheduled maintenance from Monday, November 16, to Friday, November 20, 2026. The tunnel will be closed daily between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., with traffic diverted through the Limassol-bound tunnel, which will operate with two-way traffic during these hours. Drivers are urged to maintain safe speeds and follow temporary signage.

In separate developments, heavy traffic was reported on the Limassol–Nicosia motorway on November 15, 2026, following two traffic accidents. One collision near Agios Tychonas, heading toward Nicosia, resulted in two minor injuries and the temporary closure of the right lane; the lane has since been reopened. A second accident near Moni, in the direction of Limassol, also caused significant congestion. Police attended both scenes to manage traffic flow, urging motorists to remain cautious as congestion persists in the affected areas.
