The B8 is a main road of
Cyprus. It connects the city of
Limassol and the
Troödos mountainous region. Although it's a very well maintained road, many accidents have occurred on it especially on a big bend near the village of
Moniatis locally referred as the "turn of death". Because of the long traffic congestion occurring during rush hours right outside the Limassol urban area, plans are underway for a new 4-lane Motorway linking a recently reconstructed section of the road next to
Spyros Kyprianou Athletic Center to the village of
Saittas, roughly 15 km south of Troödos Sq. Construction should start by 2014.
