The government hopes to secure EU funding for building a 350 mln euros peripheral road in the capital, Nicosia, Minister of Communications and Works Efthymios Flourentzou announced.
In statements to CNA, the Minister said the 25 klm-long project necessitates EU funding in order to materialize. “Our goal is to do as much road infrastructure as possible, but this goal is being adversely affected by the financial crisis”, he said.
Flourentzou was also asked on reconstruction works at Faneromeni Avenue, in Larnaca, which came to a halt, and responded that problems were overcome and works are expected to commence soon.
