When will the drivers' ordeal come to an end?
ALPHANEWSLIVE


Work is currently underway to create a new traffic lane on Strovolos Avenue, one of the areas in the capital where heavy traffic congestion occurs daily.

Specifically, the work involves the section of the avenue from the Presidential Palace toward Strovolos, with the aim of improving traffic flow and alleviating congestion in the area, especially during rush hour.

Under the new layout, there will be two lanes at this location for vehicles traveling straight and one lane exclusively for right turns, while two traffic lanes will be maintained in the opposite direction.

The work includes, among other things, the construction of retaining walls near schools in the area, which requires drivers to exercise caution, as there is heavy traffic in the area, particularly during school arrival and dismissal times.

The project is expected to be completed in early July.

At this location, where traffic is already heavy due in part to the construction work, reporter Eleni Fanari was on the scene with an Alpha TV camera, documenting the current situation and the changes being implemented to the road network.
