Road Conditions Affected by Weather and Works

Due to adverse weather conditions prevailing in various regions of Cyprus, the Police have issued an update on the state of the road network. Slippery road surfaces due to frost are observed in mountainous and semi-mountainous areas, as well as in higher altitude regions, while certain roads are only accessible to four-wheel drive vehicles or those equipped with anti-slip chains. Specifically, the Platron – Troodos, Karvouna – Troodos, Prodromou – Troodos, Kakopetrias – Karvouna, Pedoula – Prodromou, Prodromou – Lemithou, and Kakopetrias – Pinewood – Pedoula roads are open only to vehicles with the aforementioned specifications. Other roads, such as Kalopanagiotis – Moutoulla – Pedoula, Kakopetrias – Karvouna, Pedoula – Kykkos – Kampou, Kykkos – Tsakkistra, and Kampou – Orkontas – Kato Pyrgos, are open to all vehicles but are slippery. Furthermore, the Police warn of potential delays due to works being carried out at various points on the road network and urge drivers to exercise increased caution, adhere to the Highway Code, and comply with traffic police instructions.
