Turkish Cypriots begin upgrade works at Ayios Dhometios

Construction works began on Monday in the north to upgrade the Ayios Dhometios crossing point.

The works are aimed at “transforming the crossing point into a structure which will allow faster crossings … to improve its current situation with two lanes on both the departure and arrival side, to meet needs as regards parking, and to modernise the services offered in terms of cafes and similar things.”

As part of the works, a separate section will be built for tourist buses crossing to the north, and a separate space for people buying car insurance.

Tolga Tufekci, head of the company contracted to carry out the works, said they will be completed “as soon as possible”.
