Nicosia mayor Constantinos Yiorkadjis asked for patience on Monday as half of Makarios avenue was closed to traffic for roadworks set to last 13 months.
The avenue, he said, was undergoing an aesthetic and functional change,
“The aesthetic change will be based on the example of Stasicratous street, and the functional change will include a change to the services, planting of trees to create shade to walk, and level pavements so everyone can circulate, despite any mobility problems they may have,” he said.
He added the works would help revive the city centre and was the wish of business owners in the area.
