Cyprus Building Projects Are Late and Costly

Many building projects in Cyprus are very late. They also cost more money. This happens because government work is slow. Also, there are fights with the builders.

A road near Paphos is a good example. People wanted a better road in the 1990s. A builder from Greece, INTRAKAT, signed a contract in 2021. The road should be ready in 2024. But only a small part is built.

The government stopped the builder's contract. The builder was not happy. This stopped the work for many months. Now, the road will cost more money. It will also take more years to finish.

These problems show Cyprus needs to change. Rules are too many. Arguments with builders are common. Cyprus must fix these problems. This is important for roads and other services.
