The Limassol-Agros road near Gerasa has been rendered impassable after large rocks, soil and timber debris fell onto the carriageway, making vehicle passage hazardous.
Emergency crews from the Limassol District Administration, the Department of Public Works and police have been working since daybreak to restore traffic flow.
Police units are directing traffic and providing assistance to the public.
Police have advised motorists to avoid certain roads in the Limassol district whilst restoration work continues.
Currently closed routes include the Limassol-Agros road before Gerasa, one lane of the Limassol-Alassa road between the bridge and Alassa, whilst the Limassol-Apesia road remains difficult to navigate.
The overnight deluge, which continued into the morning, has turned several Limassol streets into temporary rivers, severely hampering vehicle movement across the city.
The storm’s impact was particularly visible at the Garilis River in Limassol on Thursday, November 21.
