Resurfacing works on the Nicosia to Limassol highway will continue next week, starting at the Alambra exit, the department of public works said on Friday.

The works will begin at 8pm on Monday and continue until 5.30am the next day.

During this time, both lanes of the highway going towards Limassol will be closed, for a length of about 3km, and traffic will be directed to the other side of the highway, which will operate with one lane in each direction.

At the same times over Tuesday and Wednesday night, the works will be carried out on the Nicosia to Larnaca highway near the Lympia exit in the direction of Larnaca.

The Lympia exit will close on Wednesday to allow the works to be carried out, and drivers wishing to use it should exit the highway at Athienou instead.

During the works the highway will close for traffic heading to Larnaca, with the opposite lane operating in both directions.
