The Paphos to Polis Motorway - Part 1

A new motorway is coming to Paphos. It will link the existing A6 motorway to the North West coast of the island, reduce travel time, and aid congestion on the B7. That's the plan, anyway. Alternatively, it will destroy precious natural areas and be an expensive waste of money. We decided to take a look at the proposed route for ourselves, so now at least you will know exactly where the motorway will go. Possibly.

Read the article and chat about it below...

Thank you Dominic for the nice photos. It's the area I like too much as one can find all kind of minerals here if you know where to go... :)

What is also handy in future: a motorway junction will be just after the 2 bridges and the tunnel, to connect traffic coming from Tsada and Kallepia/Letymbou/Golf. http://www.moa.gov.cy/moa/environment/e ... i56-lOnlWw

One of the things that puzzles me... From Dominic's pages.... " it is now going to be single lane and stop at Stroumpi " How can it be a motorway if it is a single lane ??

Precisely! One Breakdown and the congestion would stretch back to Pafos with no escape. Perhaps it means single lane but with a breakdown lane, that would become in effect a dual carriageway (without a breakdown lane!!!).
