MAJOR ROAD WORKS

Larnaca-Kofinou Motorway

Along the entire length of the Larnaca-Kofinou motorway—in both directions and including the interchanges—work will be carried out to cut, prune, and clear away acacia and other trees from the road shoulders and embankments. This work is scheduled from Monday, September 21, 2026, to Friday, October 9, 2026 (excluding weekends and public holidays), between 08:30 and 16:30. During the operations, sections of the motorway shoulder will be closed intermittently; however, traffic will continue to flow without interruption in the traffic lanes.

On sections of the Larnaca-Kofinou motorway heading towards Kofinou—specifically between the Anglisides exit and the Kofinou exit—periodic road surface maintenance work will be carried out on Monday, October 5, 2026, between 20:00 and 05:30 the following morning. During the execution of works on the aforementioned section, only the Larnaca–Kofinou direction of the motorway will be closed, and traffic will be diverted via the exit to Anglisides and along the old Larnaca–Kofinou road as far as Kofinou, guided by appropriate signage. Traffic in the opposite direction (Kofinou–Larnaca) will proceed without interruption.

Periodic road surface maintenance works will be carried out on sections of the Larnaca–Kofinou motorway (towards Kofinou)—specifically from the area past Anglisides up to the Kofinou exit—on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, between 20:00 and 05:30 the following morning. During these works, both traffic lanes in the Larnaca–Kofinou direction will be closed section by section over a distance of approximately 4 km; traffic will be diverted to the opposite carriageway, which will operate with two-way traffic flow, guided by appropriate signage. The exit towards Kofinou will remain closed, and traffic will be diverted via the preceding Anglisides exit and the old Larnaca-Kofinou road, following appropriate signage.

The "Spyros Kyprianou" stadium in Polemidia was formally given the green light today, as the official home of Maccabi basketball for its Euroleague games.

In an inspection of the stadium, it was judged that it can meet the special needs of the Israeli team and that is why it will be declared as its home instead of Serbia as it was until now. During the inspection, representatives of the CSO, Maccabi, the stadium authorities and the two assistant chiefs of Police, Giannakis Georgiou and Michalis Katsounotos, accompanied by officials, were present.

RETURN OF THE CLOCK TO THE FACADE OF PAPHOS MUNICIPAL HALL - Filenews 6/10

After some time, the clock that was on the façade of the Paphos Municipal Hall and which for a long time remained in the warehouses, was repaired and put back in its place.

The Mayor of Paphos, Angelos Onisiforou, stressed that for some it may be a small detail, for the image of a city, however, such details have their own importance. A city deserves to have its clock, in a central and recognizable place, to show the time and to be part of the daily life of its people, he observed.
