We are returning to Cyprus after being there last summer and will most likely visit Nicosia again.
They seemed to be doing some work to open up the green line in the centre of town - has this been completed yet?
It was such a long way round otherwise.

This checkpoint serves as a crossing for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and goods. The checkpoint is located in Nicosia and as you can see Nicosia also goes by two other names. Another common names for this checkpoint is Metehan which is normally used by the Turkish Cypriot community. This is the flagship of the checkpoints due to the number of people who make the crossing through it on a daily basis.
Ledra Palace
Another name for this crossing is the Ledra Palas crossing. On a daily basis this crossing is used as crossing point for cyclists and pedestrians. The only vehicles that are allowed to cross at this crossing point are diplomatic vehicles.
I assume you are refering to Ledra Street (not to be confused with Ledra Palace).
That crossing point looks no closer to being opened than it has at any time since 1974.
There has even been talk of not opening it but opening Faneromenis Street instead, parallel to and 50 metres from Ledra Street.

I undertand that work is ongoing, shoring up the buildings in the buffer zone and generally making things safe, in cojunction with the UN
I'm hoping it will be open as a crossing in June but I won't hold my breath!
Both sides want Ledra street re-opened but the politicians have to have their say.
Still looking forward to the day I can have an Efes lager in Pafos and a Keo in Kyrenia!
