Main Nicosia artery to be closed

MAJOR traffic disruption looms this week as road works close the southern Nicosia by-pass, from the Metro supermarket traffic lights on Strovolos Avenue to Pedieos Street, from 9am on Monday until Friday afternoon.

The Public Works Department announced that the section of the by-pass will be closed in order to lay water pipes. Traffic will be diverted along Pedieos Street and Ayios Mamantos Street for the duration.

 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
