Northern Limassol Bypass Still in the Planning Stages

The construction of the Northern Limassol Bypass remains in the procedural stage, despite the importance of the project to address traffic congestion in the city. The section progressing the fastest is the one within the boundaries of the Limassol Municipality, from 1st April Avenue to G. Kranidioti Avenue. The start of work on the Kouriou Municipality section is expected before the end of 2026. For the section in the Amahtous Municipality, a regulatory plan has been approved, but the approval of the Project Note is pending due to the high cost (over 15 million euros), for which a feasibility study has been requested. The total cost is estimated at 18 million euros, excluding expropriations. Sections of the road present technical challenges due to altitude differences and ravines, while construction plans and flood protection studies are underway for other sections.
