Larnaca mayor Andreas Vyras on Tuesday inspected ongoing works as part of the urban redevelopment project along part of Makarios avenue in Livadia.

Joined by Livadia deputy mayor Marios Armenis, Vyras was briefed on the progress of the project by the contractor, S. Hadjichristofi Construction Ltd, as well as by the design team from George Karas & Associates Architects Civil Engineers LLC.

According to a statement, works are currently underway along Makarios Avenue and Ayia Paraskevi street, with the new stormwater drainage system already completed along Ayia Paraskevi street.

The project, with a total budget of €3.025 million plus VAT, aims to upgrade the area functionally, aesthetically and environmentally.

Planned works include the removal of existing asphalt and pavements, excavation to create new parking areas, and the installation of new drainage systems. Infrastructure for electricity and telecommunications services will also be installed, alongside sewerage works, road resurfacing and pavement reconstruction.

Additional improvements include landscaping and tree planting, the construction of shelters, flower beds and a fountain, as well as the installation of signage, road markings and urban equipment.
