"We are the Government that has turned words and promises into deeds"
Minister of Transport, Communications and Works Mr. Yannis Karousos visited the Larnaca-Dhekelia Road to inspect the start of the road improvement works. "We are here today to inspect the start of work on another long-awaited project, which was announced by the President of the Republic and placed among his priorities," said the Minister.
"The improvement of the Larnaca - Dhekelia Road, a 3.25 km long project costing 17.6 million euros including VAT, will significantly upgrade the municipalities and communities of the region. This is another project that the local authorities have been waiting for for decades and we are proving that we are the Government that has turned words and promises into deeds."
In addition, the Public Works Department of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works has under its responsibility projects in excess of €1.8 billion. These are projects that are either under execution, under tender or will be tendered in the coming months. In this context, the Minister said : "All the long-awaited projects are on track and in a few days we will sign the contract for the construction of the Paleochori - Nicosia motorway. A few days ago we signed the Contract for the construction of the largest project in the Government's budget, which is none other than the New Cyprus Museum, at a cost of 144 million euros."
In response to a journalist's question regarding the implementation schedule and any inconvenience that citizens may suffer from the construction of the project, Mr. Karousos explained that any inconvenience will be temporary, while the projects will remain to serve the citizens. "At the same time, in consultation with the local authorities, we will address any problems that arise and provide solutions with the aim of delivering the project on schedule; which is March 2025. At the moment, there is no problem with the start of the works, as all the necessary arrangements for traffic have been made," Mr. Karousos explained.
For his part, the President of the Community Council of Voroklini, Mr. Neophytos Fakontis, thanked Mr. Karousos and the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works for the support offered and in general the Government of Nicos Anastasiades and the President of the Republic himself because the projects that the local community has been waiting for for three decades are proceeding to implementation, starting from the breakwaters and reaching today the Larnaca - Dhekelia road project.
