Public works department defends Paphos-Polis road contract termination
The public works department said ending the Paphos-Polis Chrysochous road contract was unavoidable and outlined work on options to complete the project.
Paphos, Cyprus. The public works department said terminating the Paphos-Polis Chrysochous road contract and the tenders board’s decision to reject bids were unavoidable. Its statement came in response to Disy vice-president Yiannis Karousos.
Options for completing the road
The department said it had been preparing proposals since September 16, 2026, on instructions from Transport Minister Evi Tsolaki, setting out different ways to complete the project.
Those proposals now envisage a road with four lanes, the department said. The aim was to choose an approach that would prevent additional delays and avoid repeating difficulties experienced recently and in earlier years.
Department disputes evaluation delays
The department denied claims that the tender evaluation process had been delayed. It also noted that the road project had remained pending since the 1990s.
