Limassol Centre Upgrade Contracts Signed

Description:

The Limassol Municipality has signed two contracts for the upgrade of the town centre with two construction companies.

The project will cost €18 million, 80% of which is covered by EU structural funds and will encompass a total transformation of the town’s historic and commercial area.

Limassol Mayor Andreas Christou said “Not a single cent or a single day of work will be lost so that the project is completed within the timeline of 36 months.”

The construction work will cause considerable inconvenience to locals. In order to minimise disruption, work in the town centre will be performed by two separate companies. Each site will only be allowed to have work taking place in three areas of not more than 250 metres each at any one time.

The project involves the development of a new and improved traffic network, which will encourage walking and the use of public transport, as well as the creation of 600 parking spaces. The town’s public transport network will be significantly improved, while walking will be encouraged through the creation of wider pavements and tile-paved areas.
