Larnaca street works to close roads in stages until 2027
The Electricity Authority of Cyprus is laying high-voltage cables through central Larnaca and along part of the Larnaca-Dhekelia coast road, with sections shut as crews move.
The Electricity Authority of Cyprus is installing high-voltage cables to strengthen how power reaches Larnaca, and the work will interrupt traffic on several streets in the centre as well as on stretches of the Larnaca-Dhekelia coastal road, the authority said.
Among the affected routes are Pavlou Valdaseridi, Zakynthou, Archiepiskopou Kyprianou, Kilkis and Kimonos, which will be dug up piece by piece rather than all at once. Each section is to be handed back to drivers once the crew moves on, and the authority expects the whole job to wrap up in 2027.
Traffic is being directed under Traffic Police instructions, and temporary signage will mark the diversions.
What it means for residents
For anyone driving into central Larnaca or using the coastal road towards Dhekelia, the next months bring shifting closures rather than one big shutdown — the route changes as the cable trenches advance. Businesses on the affected streets may see quieter pavements while a section is closed, and bus or delivery routes could be diverted at short notice.
- Plan extra time for trips through the centre and check which section is closed before setting out.
- Watch the signs — temporary markings and police directions override what your usual route looks like.
- Expect the long haul: the work is scheduled to run into 2027, so closures will come and go.
