- 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 eight 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 eight selected areas with a total length of approx. 7.2 km, 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 for 6 areas (Agios Antonios (area 31), Old city, Likavitos, Agioi Omologites (area 20), Trypiotis and Nicosia city) have been completed. The contract for Agioi Omologites (area 28) was signed in March 2024 and construction works is expected to be completed by Q2 2025.
