Collision blocks middle lane on Limassol-Nicosia motorway
Two vehicles collided on Wednesday morning near Halepianes, prompting police to shut the middle lane and warn drivers to expect delays.
Traffic on the Limassol-Nicosia motorway was disrupted on Wednesday morning after a collision involving two vehicles near Halepianes, as reported by Cyprus Mail. The middle lane was shut while officers dealt with the scene.
Drivers travelling through the area were told to reduce speed, leave a proper gap behind the vehicle in front and obey instructions from police on the ground.
What it means for residents
The motorway is the main artery between the island's two biggest cities, so even a single blocked lane can ripple into queues and missed appointments for commuters heading to either end.
- Leave earlier. Build a buffer into your journey if your route passes Halepianes in the next few hours.
- Keep your distance. Sudden braking at slow speeds is how secondary crashes happen — leave room and watch for police signals.
- Check before you set off. Conditions can change quickly while the scene is cleared, so confirm the lane is open before committing to the motorway.
