The ministry of transport has confirmed they will push through final plans for the Paphos to Polis Chrysochous road after the proposed project has been hampered by a series of delays. The announcement was made following a meeting between the Minister of transport and works, Nicos Nicolaides, and SEKO, the association of political parties. The Paphos president of SEKO is local mayor Savvas Vergas, who had strongly criticised the lengthy wait for the contractor, prior to the meeting, threatening the possibility of direct action if further delays, or a halt to the project, went ahead. SEKO had made an appeal to the ministry to push for the project to begin. Nicolaides assured that the road would go ahead, as it would be "of a great benefit not only to Paphos but also for the whole of Cyprus."

The proposed contractor increasing the original price for the completed project has hampered the plan. The minister noted that either the first contractor or a second company, who would be asked to give a price for the job, would undertake the project. Nicolaides underlined that if an economic solution cannot be found, then the government would find ways in which to obtain funds to enable the project to commence.
