A bizarre and frustrating situation has unfolded on the Limassol-Nicosia motorway, where a truck, which has been stranded for 27 days after a traffic accident, is only now being removed—causing yet another headache for drivers.
The truck, which had veered off the road and become wedged in the trees near the Latsia Weigh Station, has been blocking part of the highway for nearly four weeks. Now, after much delay, authorities have scheduled the truck’s removal for Sunday, March 9, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. However, the operation comes with its own set of inconveniences.
To remove the truck, one of the three lanes on the motorway will be closed, causing major traffic disruptions as a crane is brought in to lift the truck. Police will be present to regulate traffic and ensure safety during the operation, but the question remains—why did it take so long for this to happen?
According to sources familiar with the matter, the delay stemmed from an issue of responsibility. The owner of the truck was initially responsible for the removal of the vehicle, but they struggled to find a crane capable of handling the job. This oversight has left the truck sitting on the side of the road for weeks, blocking traffic and creating chaos for commuters.
The situation has raised questions about government efficiency and responsibility. With the truck sitting there for almost a month, many are left wondering why authorities didn’t step in sooner to handle the removal themselves, or why the issue wasn’t prioritized sooner.
Now, with the operation finally set to take place, drivers will have to brace themselves for another round of disruptions. Hopefully, once the truck is removed, the chaos will finally come to an end—but many are still shaking their heads at the inefficiency that allowed this to drag on for so long.
