If they put speed cameras on this road (which I'm sure they will) they'll make a fortune.

Any idea when it will open?

When I was out a few weeks ago I was told as early as this month

The exit in Alsancak is right by the road which leads up my villa Will be great to cut out Kyrenia on arrival and departure as well as taking traffic off the coast road

Has the work been going ahead this winter? thought they had run out of money?



Any one know when it may be open, as we have villa in Lapta and always seem to catch the traffic what ever time of day we arrive or leave, .....

Thanks for that Hans. Must give it a try, but didn't realise it was open beyond GAU turning. So, here we go. Thanks again.

I was over that way yesterday. The builders say it will be fully open by the end of April, and I didn't see anything that would make me disbelieve them.

so maybe once that is finished they will start on the road widening from alsancak to karsiyaka although god only knows why they are going to do that. They have been out measuring everywhere for the past couple of weeks.

RE msg 11, Teresa: (...) so maybe once that is finished they will start on the road widening from alsancak to karsiyaka although god only knows why they are going to do that. They have been out measuring everywhere for the past couple of weeks. (...)

=> "They" have already started to remove trees and other 'obstacles' from the point where the bypass connects to the Girne-Alsancak road. I agree: do the TC's and we really need a widened road to Alsancak, Lapta and maybe even to Karşiyaka?! Would it make the road safer when (illegal) overtaking is made even easier?!
