At noon on August 8, the first section of the Nicosia ring road was put into operation. It will ensure free movement of transport between the western regions and suburbs of the capital and the regions of Larnaca and Limassol.
Director of the Department of Public Works Eleftherios Eleftheriou said the project includes a 7.5 km road connecting the Nicosia-Limassol motorway with Ttseri Avenue. It has a bridge connecting the old Nicosia-Limassol road (B1) with the Nicosia-Limassol motorway (A1), an overpass near the Tseriu industrial area and a roundabout at the intersection of Tseriou and Pefkou avenues.
According to Eleftheriou, the tender for the implementation of the second phase of the bypass road has already been announced, it will run from Antoupoli to the Lakatamia-Deftera road.
The tender will end on September 20, and the contract is expected to be concluded by the end of the year. In the first quarter of 2025, a tender will be issued for the construction of the third phase, which will include the section from the Antoupoli interchange to the Ergates roundabout.
The designated median constructed as part of the project will be replanted with greenery in September or October, when weather conditions permit.
