Zodhia closes for 6 weeks

THE TWO sides have agreed that as of December 27, the Zodhia crossing point will be closed for six weeks for infrastructural work, the UNFICYP announced yesterday.

A statement said that as anticipated in August this year, the buffer zone road between the two crocking points would undergo necessary road works as required under EU transportation standards.

People crossing between both sides are as to use the Ayios Dhometios point as an alternative route until the work is completed.

“UNFICYP will announce the re-opening of the crossing points as the date approaches,” the statement added.

The road works are funded by the EU and managed by the UNDP.
