Famagusta Avenue junction in Nicosia shuts for four months
Roadworks at the meeting point of Famagusta and Kennedy avenues in Nicosia begin on Thursday, October 15, with drivers rerouted through a temporary signalled junction.
The junction where Famagusta Avenue meets Kennedy Avenue in Nicosia is being shut to traffic for four months starting Thursday, October 15, according to the Nicosia Municipality. The closure is needed to carry out roadworks.
Motorists will be sent instead through a temporary junction controlled by traffic lights, which will be installed where Tryfonos Street joins Famagusta Avenue.
The work forms part of the ‘Improvement of Famagusta Avenue in Nicosia’ project. The municipality is asking the public, and drivers in particular, to stay alert and obey the temporary road signs.
What it means for residents
Anyone whose daily route runs through this part of Nicosia — to work, school or shops — needs to plan extra time for four months, or pick a different way around.
- Allow more time: the temporary lights at Tryfonos Street will slow traffic, so leaving earlier is the simplest fix.
- Watch the signage: the diversion layout is temporary and unfamiliar, so follow the posted signs rather than usual habits.
- Expect knock-on effects: nearby streets may take on extra traffic while the junction is out of use.
