THE NORTHERN BYPASS CHANGES ITS IMAGE

 Filenews 24 April 2023 - by Dora Christodoulou



A clearly improved picture is seen daily by commuters on the Pafos Northern Bypass lately.

Hundreds of people who cross the busy road every day, discern the change in the sections next to the avenue to Geroskipou, which have been cleaned recently at the initiative of the Municipality of Pafos and after it had been judged that the illegalities that prevailed for years had exceeded every limit, while at the same time works in private developments that remained for years unfinished, have now begun to move forward, resulting in an apparent increase in commercial activity in the region.

The works for the movement of waste materials from Argaki in the area of Limnaria near the Northern Bypass of Geroskipou, were carried out after illegalities that had taken place about 30 years ago, resulting in a change in the course of the waters. The purpose of the works was both to restore the natural environment in the area, and to ensure that no damage would be caused in the future to the major project of the Northern Bypass, since it was found that in the riverbed warehouses of 700 square metres had been erected and artfully camouflaged.

At the same time, after the commercial exploitation of the old Orphanidis mall, multiplexes in the same area come to life with completion works and the first leases or shops have already appeared in them.
