Hour-long queues persist at Ayios Dhometios despite expansion works

Queues of more than an hour continued at the Ayios Dhometios crossing point on Wednesday, despite the recent completion of EU-funded expansion works intended to ease congestion.

According to Turkish Cypriot newspaper Kibris Postasi, traffic is reported to build up at the crossing particularly during morning hours, with students and workers travelling to the government-controlled areas facing prolonged delays.

Vehicle queues were reported to stretch as far as the nearby roundabout, with waiting times exceeding 60 minutes.
