**Highway Closure Through Bases Extended Until Tuesday Lunchtime**
The stretch of highway that connects Akrotiri to Kolossi, passing through the British Sovereign Base Areas (SBA), will remain closed until lunchtime on Tuesday, as announced by the SBA authorities on Monday. This extension of the closure is necessary to facilitate urgent repairs to the underground infrastructure in the area.
Originally scheduled to reopen on Monday evening, the closure has been prolonged to ensure that the repair works can be completed safely and effectively. The closure began at 7 AM on Monday, and the decision to extend it was made to prioritize the integrity of the infrastructure.
Motorists traveling in the region are advised to adhere to road signs and follow designated diversion routes while the highway remains closed. The SBA authorities have emphasized the importance of these diversions to ensure the safety of all road users during the repair process.
As the work progresses, updates regarding the reopening of the highway will be communicated to the public. The authorities appreciate the understanding and cooperation of motorists during this necessary maintenance period.
