Additionally, the Limassol–Nicosia motorway near the Kalavasos bridge has been closed in the direction towards Nicosia since 30 January for repair and upgrade works on the bridge. Traffic from Limassol to Nicosia is being diverted to the opposite side of the motorway, which is operating with two-way traffic for both directions.
According to the Department of Public Works, these works are expected to be completed by 15 May.
