The objective of the measure is to mitigate the negative effects on human health, the environment, cultural sites and income from flooding events, through managing flood risk.
In Nicosia, the Municipality of Nicosia has selected 13 areas where a complete sewer system shall be constructed. The investment relates to the construction of a new rainwater drainage network that will be merged with the existing network, contributing to a more comprehensive flood response. Additionally the reconstruction of streets and pavements in the selected areas aims to facilitate pedestrian and vehicle movement by providing enough walking space but also by creating low speed limit areas plus controlled and/or limited time on street parking spaces.
The construction works in 11 areas have been completed. As regards the 2 remaining areas (Nicosia City Centre and Pallouriotissa area), the projects are expected to be completed by early August 2026.
The Recovery and Resilience Facility provides funding of EUR 15.1 million for these projects in Nicosia.
