Cyprus Police
Closed roads, road works and heavy traffic, as announced by the Police.
Good to know
The Cyprus Police announce what affects the road network: a road closed after a collision, lanes closed for works on a motorway, heavy traffic at a junction, roads closed for an event or because of the weather. This page gathers those announcements in one place, newest first.
Every morning the Police also publish a short summary of the main roads, and they keep a full list of the road works on motorways and in towns. Both are linked from this page. The announcements are written in Greek and are shown exactly as published.

From the road network section of the Cyprus Police news site. Cyprus Atlas reads it every few minutes and shows each announcement with a link to the Police page.
The Police publish them in Greek only. They are shown as written, so that nothing is changed in translation. The labels on this page (closed road, heavy traffic, road works) tell you what kind of announcement each one is.
Look for the announcements marked "Closed road". They name the motorway, the stretch and the direction. When a closure is planned for works, it is also in the Police list of road works linked at the top of the page.
The motorways between Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and Ayia Napa, main roads in the towns, and mountain roads when they close because of snow, rockfall or fire.
Three days. Older announcements are history rather than the state of the roads.
For an emergency call 112 or 199. The Police Traffic Department in each district handles collisions and traffic arrangements.
