A9 motorway (Cyprus)

A9 is a highway under construction which is planned to connect Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, with the Troödos Mountains.

The project has stopped until the safety of planners will be established.

Although, approach towards Troödos from Astromeritis is under planning, with Evrychou, a small village near Kakopetria to be the temporary ending junction.

Commencement on the A9 highway to Troödos was expected in early 2012.

Phase 2 will see the highway span from Dhenia to Astromeritis and phase 3, culminating in the termination of the motorway at a large roundabout on the border of Evrychou.
