PARIS -(Dow Jones)- A consortium including French construction company Vinci SA (VCISY) has been named as the preferred bidder for the first public-private partnership contract to build a motorway in Cyprus, the company said in a press statement Monday.
The project, which will link Paphos to Polis, consists of a 30-year contract worth a total of EUR470 million and includes the financing, design, construction and operation of the motorway.
Vinci represents 40% in the consortium, which is completed by J&P, representing 45% and Cybarco representing 15%.
The construction work will last four-and-a-half years and amounts to EUR275 million; it includes the construction of nine viaducts and three tunnels, Vinci said in a statement.

This will obviously make Polis properties go up.

Never been to Polis, what's it like?

Pretty much unspoilt right now but things won't be the same after they build the motorway. Latsi has a nice beach. Polis used to be an old gold mining town. It's worth a visit.

This may spell the end of some of the nicest parts of what we have yet to cover in concrete. Polis to Pomos is a delightful coast and landscape.

What will happen to the wildlife of the Akamas? Hey we have done the same in the UK and ruined 67% of our countryside.

I enquired about this some time ago and the putative route should not go anywhere near the Akamas ... although it will naturally affect quite a lot of unspoilt countryside.

The influx of visitors this will allow means the Polis to Pomos area will no longer be the quiet retreat that makes it so special. So for the sake of young couples trying to buy in the area, I hope it backfires and does not push up prices in what is already the most expensive part of the island.

Again, we really need to re-unify the island and diffuse the overcrowding that the GCs are having to unnecessarily put up with in their own country just because bloody Turkey cannot be bothered to improve its vast country for its own people and has to keep invading neighbours.

Phoenix even manages to pin the blame of environmental damage from road building on the Turks Whatever next ? Phoenix I'm looking forward to your explanation for the causes of global warming, famine, plagues of locust and frogs.

What exactly do you base this statement on? You really should give it a rest and get a life. Festering so much hatred will ruin your health, Beware!!!

It's based on the fact that it is exactly what they have done Bubbles.

( P.S. Polite request: Bubbles, kindly stop nagging me about my life .... )

Did I blame the road building on the Turks? ... No! Learn to read.

CopperLine, by the Laws of Physics, if the Turks have taken nearly 40% of the Island for what used to be less than 20% of the population ..... go figure why I said the island needs to be re-unified to diffuse the squeeze.
