The Public Works Department announced guardrail replacement and pruning along approximately 27 kilometres of the A3, from the Xylotymbou exit to the Ayia Napa roundabout. Work is scheduled for 17–25 September, excluding the weekend, between 07:00 and 16:00.

If your itinerary uses this stretch, allow some flexibility and follow temporary signs. The notice does not announce a full motorway closure or quantify delays.

Why it matters to visitors: this is a useful check for journeys between Larnaca and the eastern coastal resorts.

A Cyprus Public Transport announcement published on 16 September reports on its 15 September presentation of the revamped Pame app and redesigned website. The highlighted features include live arrival information, bus tracking on a map, planning by arrival time and Motion card top-ups.

The website also brings together routes, timetables and ticket information. Check your particular journey with the operator before setting out; this announcement is not a change to bus fares or a guarantee of punctual arrivals.

Why it matters to visitors: the tools can help you identify a bus connection and plan when to leave for a day out.
