Limassol Seaside Promenade Faces Closure: Urgent Redesign Needed

The Municipality of Amathous is facing a critical issue with the Agios Tychonas seaside promenade, which is in a precarious state due to years of neglect and damage from recent storms. The recent bad weather worsened the condition, leading to the prohibition of pedestrian access to the wooden footbridge for safety reasons. Mayor Kyriakos Xydias emphasizes the need for a radical redesign and reconstruction of the promenade, a project that requires significant financial investment from the state. The Municipality acknowledges its responsibilities and is committed to renovating the area, which it considers a gem for Cyprus. The condition of the promenade has deteriorated to the point where partial solutions are no longer sufficient, as the Mayor points out. Long-term neglect and the lack of a comprehensive plan have led to significant damage. The prohibition of using the footbridge is an immediate safety measure, while an assessment of the damage is underway to repair the promenade. The Municipality of Amathous aims to carry out a definitive and high-quality regeneration of the seafront, worthy of the beauty of the area and the expectations of residents and visitors. It believes that securing the necessary funds is vital to the success of the project. The regeneration of the promenade will contribute to the promotion of Agios Tychonas as a leading tourist destination. In the meantime, the Municipality calls on the public to comply with the warnings and avoid accessing the dangerous areas of the promenade until the repair work is completed. The safety of citizens is a priority for the local authority, which is making every effort to solve the problem.
