Police urged caution to drivers on Thursday as overnight road maintenance works on the Nicosia – Larnaca and Limassol – Nicosia motorways continue.
The works on the Nicosia-Larnaca motorway from Rizoelia to Larnaca will be carried out from 8pm on Thursday and will be completed on Friday 5.30am, the Department of Public Works announced.
They will be carried out for road maintenance purposes on sections of the motorway, from the Rizoelia roundabout, up to the first light-controlled junction, in Aradippou. During the works, both lanes will remain closed in the direction from Rizoelia roundabout to Larnaca and traffic will be diverted to adjacent roads.
Overnight works are also being carried out on the Limassol-Nicosia motorway to replace reflective nails and safety parapets on the road. The works started on September 18, 2023, and they take place from 9pm until 6am.
During the work, one lane of traffic will be partially closed in one direction only for a length of approximately 1,000 metres and traffic will be directed to the other lane.
The works will be carried out until October 12.
Meanwhile, road closures are also expected on Thursday night and Friday in the capital.
According to media reports, 250 concrete trucks will be pouring concrete as part of works for the new land registry offices in Aglandjia.
Construction will affect sections of the peripheral roads of Akadimias, Glafkos Clerides and Kyrinias in Nicosia. Works will take place from 7.30pm and will continue for 24 hours.
The new land registry, at an estimated cost of about €22.3 million, is expected to be completed by the summer of 2025.
The competent transport ministry department signed the contract for the project with Lois Builders Ltd & Wade Adams Contracting Cyprus Ltd JV in August last year. It includes design, construction and 12-year maintenance of the building.
