Larnaca-Ayia Napa highway section to close for accident reconstruction

The British bases police in Dhekelia announced that a section of the Larnaca-Ayia Napa highway will be closed on Thursday, March 5, 2026. The closure is scheduled from 21:00 to 23:00 to allow for the reconstruction of a fatal traffic collision that occurred on February 13, 2026. The affected segment lies in the direction of Ayia Napa, specifically between the Ormideia and Xylophagou exits. While one source identified the specific markers as exits 63 and 64, another source referenced the area between the Ormideia and Xylophagou exits generally. During the two-hour closure, traffic will be diverted through the local Ormideia-Xylophagou road. Authorities have urged motorists to exercise caution, follow all posted road signage, and comply with police instructions provided at the scene.
