Expansion Works Completed at Agios Dometios Checkpoint

The EU-funded expansion works at the Agios Dometios checkpoint have been completed, adding an additional lane of traffic in each direction, increasing the number of lanes from two to three. A new pedestrian walkway has also been constructed. The works, implemented by two contractors, one Greek Cypriot and one Turkish Cypriot, in cooperation with the bi-communal Technical Committee on Crossings, aim to improve safety, functionality, and traffic flow at the busiest crossing point on the island. The European Commission announced that the expansion will facilitate smoother traffic for the thousands of people who cross the Green Line daily.
