Cyprus

A picturesque Mediterranean island celebrated for its history and strategic importance, is undergoing significant infrastructure upgrades to foster economic growth and connectivity. Known as a pivotal hub for trade, tourism, and maritime activities, the island is investing in sustainable development to enhance the quality of life for its residents.

In Limassol, Cyprus’ second-largest city and a key maritime hub, an essential road network expansion has improved connections between the New Port and the Limassol-Paphos motorway. These upgrades streamline travel, provide easier access to the port, and modernize local infrastructure.

Additionally, a storm water drainage system has been installed to address the city’s frequent flooding issues, offering greater resilience to extreme weather events.

This transformation is part of a broader initiative funded by the European Commission, reflecting Cyprus’ commitment to modernization and sustainability.
