In the annual report of the O.C.,P.W.D. Mr. Cunnigham, No. 135/89 of 8th<br />
July, 1889, the following works are recorded :—<br />
Carpas Road,^-continuation from the Bridge near Eleousa Monastery for 3^<br />
miles to Rizo-Carpas. A diversion was carried out in the village of Yiallousa,<br />
but the sum available was inadequate to complete the metalling between this<br />
place and Rizo-Carpas.<br />
Larnaca-Kophinou Road,—^formation carried out during the previous year<br />
and during that under review 7 miles were metalled and certain " Irish bridges "<br />
formed. Four miles of this road remain to be metalled.<br />
Nicosia-Peristerona-Morphou Road,—a length of 14 miles as far as Peristerona<br />
(besides 3 miles at the Nicosia end maintained by convicts) improved but more<br />
metal required. The Peristerona-Morphou section via Astromeriti and Zodia set<br />
out and marked with cairns.<br />
Limassol Wine Roads,—branch to Vasa | mile in length commenced but<br />
not completed and the ravine close by a-bridge.<br />
