Paphos–Polis Road Promised to Be Completed in Three Years, Despite Contract Termination

Cyprus' Minister of Transport, Alexis Vafeades, has pledged that the highway linking Paphos and Polis Chrysochous will be completed within three years. This promise comes after the government terminated the contract for the first phase of the project.

The minister explained that following the cancellation of the old contract, the government will assess the cost of the work completed so far before preparing the necessary documentation for a new tender.

The tender will then be awarded to a new contractor who will take over the completion of the project.

"We expect the project to be completed within three years," said Vafeades.

He also added that while the contract for the first phase, between Paphos and the village of Stroumbi, has been terminated, the work for the second phase – between Stroumbi and Polis Chrysochous – is proceeding according to plan.
