Heavy goods vehicles have been permitted to use the Nicosia-Kyrenia highway again. For a long time vehicles weighing over 5 tons were forbidden to use the mountain road because of the dangers to traffic at the Ciklos bend, where there have been a number of fatal accidents.
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport has decided to open the Nicosia-Kyrenia Highway to trucks and lorries over 5 tons as of today.
