B7 Roadworks Get Serious
Pile Driver
So now they are doing some major reinforcements.
Aerial Angles
It is worth noting that the gypsum extends up to Stroumpi. The new motorway will have to take this into account if it wants to avoid similar issues.
Arthur Dent
Here's a nice shot of the dent for posterity. Once the repairs are complete, will it just become a layby?
Final Shot
So, what will happen in the not-to-distant future? Will the new road section be integrated into the existing B7 without any road closure, or will there have to be a temporary diversion? Time will tell...
Distant Theletra
I shall leave you with an aerial view of the hills around Theletra. You can just about make out the abandoned village on the far left of this shot. There will be a video showing the roadworks in due course, and I may also do a Relaxing Cyprus film as I recorded some nice flybys of the village. So look out for that...

B7 Closed For Repairs

MapB7 Roadworks Get Serious
A few years ago part of the B7 above Giolou collapsed. It was repaired, then promptly collapsed again after the next rainy season. It was due to be repaired again, but thanks to Civil protests at the prospects of total road closure, the road instead sprouted a dent which avoided the collapsed area. Now, finally, the repair team are back with a vengance, and this time they mean business.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
