Members and co-chairs of the Technical Committee on Crossings, together with representatives of the United Nations Good Offices Mission and UNFICYP, visited the ongoing expansion works at the Agios Dometios/Metehan crossing point in the buffer zone.
The visit was to see the progress of the EU-funded upgrade being implemented by UNDP Cyprus - expected to be completed around the end of January 2026. Project teams provided updates on current works, including excavation, paving, and landscaping, which are progressing as planned.
Once completed, and provided that there is adequate staffing at the booths, the expansion is expected to ease traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve safety for all crossing users.
Improvements to crossing points contribute to facilitating contact between communities and supporting everyday interactions. The work of the Technical Committee on Crossings, facilitated by the UN Good Offices Mission (OSASG-Cyprus) continues to focus on practical measures that deliver tangible benefits for Cypriots across the island.
