The project highway is the prosecution of the existing Anthoupolis – Kokkinotrimithia highway, to reach the towns of Astromeritis and Troodos. The total length of the highway, including the link to Troodos, is 25.7 km with about 4.5 km of 2-lane link roads.

The contract, in fact,also includes the design of the three link roads:

• Akaki link :  a 2 lane road from Deneia – Kokkinotrimithia interchange to the existing road, (2.5 Km)

• Peristerona link: a 2 lane road from exit from Avlona - Astromeritis interchange  (1.7 Km)

• Troodos link: a 4 lane road from exit from Katokopia Astromeritis interchange (6.4 Km)

The project highway runs over a generally flat to slightly rolling terrain, mainly constituted of calcareous sedimentary rock and recent alluvial soils, quite densely inhabited and with scarce vegetation, with the exception of the last part of the main alignment and the majority of the link to Troodos which cross an orange orchard.

In total the following main structures envisaged:

·          9 interchanges

·          several bridges

·          5-7 underpasses/overpasses.

The typical cross section includes two 3.5 m. lanes per carriageway, 2.5 m. paved shoulders and narrow median delimited by guard rails or New Jersey type concrete barriers.
