Modernising infrastructure in Cyprus
Cyprus, a beautiful Mediterranean island known for its rich history and strategic location, is modernising its infrastructure to better support economic growth and connectivity in light of its position as a key centre for trade, tourism, and maritime activities.
The European Commission funded significant projects to promote sustainable development and improve quality of life in Cyprus. In Limassol, the island’s second-largest city and a major maritime hub, an essential road network was expanded to link the New Port with the Limassol-Paphos motorway. These upgrades ensure smoother travel, better access to the port, and modern amenities for residents and visitors alike. A storm water drainage system was also installed to mitigate the effects of regular flooding in the area.
