The right-hand lane of the Nicosia-Larnaca motorway was temporarily closed on Friday morning for road cleaning works, police said.

The lane closed at 9.30am and reopened at 11.30am in the direction of Nicosia, on the section after the junction with the Nicosia-Limassol motorway and the exit towards Pera Chorio Nisou and Alambra.

Traffic heading towards Larnaca was diverted through the motorway’s left-hand lane while the works are underway.

Drivers were urged to reduce their speed, maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead and follow temporary road signs in the affected area.
