From inCyprus 2 June 2017
The Cyprus government has approved plans for the creation of the long-awaited Paphos-Polis dual road while approving works to improve the existing road.
According to the plans, the road will be a two lanes with a provision to expand into a carriageway way at a later stage.
The €60 million project (excluding expropriations), was presented to the House Communications Committee on Friday by Finance Minister Harris Georgiades and Communications Marios Demetriades.
According to the project timetable, tenders will be called for at the beginning of 2018 with the aim of the project to start towards the end of the same year.
The road will pass along Ayia Marinouda, just 7km east of Paphos, and will connect the village of Stroumbi with the Limassol-Paphos motorway. In other words, motorists wanting to head to Polis will now longer need to cut through Paphos but will instead turn off just before the town and head north toward the village of Stroumbi to then connect to the road all the way to Polis.
Apart from the interchange on the Limassol-Paphos motorway, the new road to Polis will also feature two tunnels 730m and 290m long respectively, five bridges, two overpasses and five underground crossings.
The plans have been approved by the cabinet. “The budget for 2018 makes provision for €6m for the project which is the down payment to the contractor,” said Georgiades adding that the amount excludes the amount for expropriations.
It was also revealed that the first phase of the Limassol-Saita road as well as the Nicosia perimeter road were expected to start in 2018.
