Following demolition of the old premises that recently hosted an Arabic bakery, on the traffic lights opposite the Papantoniou supermarket, in the centre of Paphos, last night the building complex of another era and style on the opposite side of the road, where from time to time there were branches of banks, foreign exchange offices and other businesses, was demolished.
The demolition took place in the presence of dozens of citizens who had gathered for the impressive spectacle and the now unusual aspect of one of the most central parts of the city. These demolitions had been predetermined and are part of the planning of the total redevelopment of Ellados Avenue and Evagoras Pallikaridis.
At this point, based on the design, a large traffic junction will be constructed that will channel traffic to the major roads of the areas, such as Ellados, Evagora Pallikaridis, Eleftheriou Venizelou and the smaller roads to the shopping centre and the district of Mouttalos.
Along with the "clean-up" of the old and non-functional buildings at the beginning of Ellados Avenue, the major project continues further north, with the contractor's crews having already reached the traffic lights of Viofos, closing the one traffic stream of the avenue and starting the interventions on the roadway.
