This sounds as though it is one lane closure with Traffic lights. Very similar to what has been happening during the hours of darkness recently
I do wonder why they cannot use the floodlights from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m., as they have done recently.
It certainly will cause havoc with people's appointments particularly medical ones :-(

Just leave ten minutes earlier, or go via Minthis Hills instead.

I must admit, although having used the Minthis Hills road I don't know the route very well, and not where it comes out..
My appointment is near the General Hospital

Well, at the bottom of the hill, just before the highway roundabout, you turn right and 150 m from there is the Hospital....

Once I actually timed the journeys from the Motorway Roundabout to Polemi. Via Minthis was only 5 minutes longer than the usual B7 route, and you also get prettier scenery. :)

I did use the Minthis Hills route this morning and it worked out fine.. I will be using it again tomorrow for an appointment.
Does anyone know how the traffic was on the B7 Polis Road route this morning ??
