Transport minister calls meeting on Limassol traffic issues

Minister of Transport, Communications and Works Alexis Vafeades has scheduled a working meeting to address chronic traffic congestion in Limassol. The meeting is set for Monday, May 25, 2026, at the Limassol Municipal Hall. The Minister has invited the mayors of Limassol, Kourion, Polemidia, and Amathus, along with the community leaders of Parekklisia and Pyrgos. The agenda focuses on identifying short and medium-term projects and practical interventions to improve urban mobility and public transport. While the Ministry characterizes this as part of a broader planning effort to enhance the road network, some local media sources have expressed skepticism regarding the timing and the speed of implementation. Critics point out that previous infrastructure projects have faced delays and note that the meeting date falls on the day after the elections, which may complicate logistics. The government's stated goal is to establish a priority framework to reduce commuter inconvenience and promote sustainable mobility.
