Nicosia urban accessibility project launched

A contract was signed to increase accessibility in Nicosia’s urban centres, the press and information office said on Friday.

The contract was signed on Thursday by the public works department and the company A & C Angeli Construction LTD.

The works will be conducted in Nicosia’s urban centres, and will aim to increase accessibility to cyclists, pedestrians, and disabled people.

The plan is from the project to finish in the first six months of 2025, and it is expected to cost €1,996,000 + VAT.

The project will see more pavements for pedestrians constructed, with an emphasis on disabled people, by putting more ramps, and increasing road crossing points, and signage, by installing traffic signalling for people with limited vision.
