2025 proved to be a particularly productive year for the Human Resource Development Authority (HRDA), as part of its efforts to implement its vision for the continuous upgrading of the knowledge and skills of Cyprus’s human capital, the country’s most valuable resource, according to the President of the HRDA Board of Directors, Dr. Konstantinos N. Fellas, in an interview with “Entrepreneurial Limassol”.

Evagoras Lanitis Avenue, within the boundaries of the Limassol Municipality (from 1st April Avenue to G. Kranidiotis Avenue), appears to be the most advanced section, in procedural terms, of the five sections of the Northern Limassol Bypass (Parallel), with a total estimated cost of around €170 million, possibly up to €200 million. The sections of the Northern Parallel are being developed independently and are at different stages of maturity, while the Minister of Transport recently stated that the section in the Kourion Municipality is likely to start first, before the end of 2026.

Ahead of the summer season, the new Director General of the Deputy Ministry of Shipping, Dr Theodoulos Mesimeris, estimates that he will be in a position to present a comprehensive and holistic Action Plan for the prevention, monitoring, control and response to incidents of marine pollution.
