Paphos-bound tunnel on Limassol motorway shut for five days of roadworks
Police say the Paphos-bound tunnel will be closed from Monday, 16 November to Friday, 20 November, 8 am to 7 pm daily, with traffic rerouted through the opposite bore.
Roadworks will shut the Paphos-bound tunnel on the Limassol–Paphos motorway for five consecutive days, police said. The closure runs from Monday, 16 November to Friday, 20 November, daily between 8 am and 7 pm.
While works are under way, Paphos-bound vehicles will be sent through the Limassol-bound tunnel, which will carry two-way traffic. The Paphos-bound bore reopens at 7 pm each evening.
Drivers are asked to slow down, keep a safe gap from the car ahead and obey the temporary signage installed along the route.
What it means for residents
Anyone commuting or driving between Limassol and Paphos during working hours should plan for delays, since two-way running in a single bore inevitably slows traffic and leaves little room for error.
- Timing: shift trips towards Paphos outside 8 am–7 pm where possible, or leave earlier than usual.
- Patience: expect queues at the tunnel mouths and keep well back from the vehicle in front.
- Alternatives: consider older routes or adjusted departure times on the busiest days of the week.
