The work on the second phase of the improvement project of the existing Paphos-Polis Chrysochous road is continuing normally, according to the Director of the Department of Public Works, Eleftherios Eleftherios. Mr. Eleftherios participated on Tuesday in a meeting in Paphos with the company that has won the bid for the execution of the project, subsequently stating to CNA that it was a continuation of the meetings that the Department holds with the respective contractors on the progress of the work and on the resolution of problems that arise during the execution of the projects.
The meeting was also attended by the First Executive Engineer of the Department of Public Works, Kostakis Konstantinou. The Director of the Department of Public Works noted that the project is progressing satisfactorily and that any problems that arise, as in all projects, the Department of Public Works, in collaboration with the contractor, is trying to resolve them. He continued, saying that no serious problems were observed during the execution of the project that may stop the progress of the project. The contract for the project was signed on November 28, 2024 between the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, and specifically between the Director of the Department of Public Works, Eleftherios Eleftherios, and on behalf of the Lebanese company Araco Construction CY Limited, owned by Mohammed Rokaya. The project concerns improvement works on the existing Paphos-Polis Chrysochous road (B7).

The implementation of the project began around January 2025 with a duration of 52 weeks and a cost of €3,479,748.00 plus VAT. Its completion is expected around January 2026, concluded Mr. Eleftheriou.
