Continuing the ongoing saga of building work in Larnaka town centre

I wrote about building work in Larnaka in August, and I wrote a few weeks later about how the building work was continuing in September.

Then, I suppose I stopped noticing it on my weekly perambulations to the Post Office. There did not appear to be much progress, or anything particularly photogenic. Not that building work is exactly beautiful, but it was interesting to see dramatic changes, on the rare occasions when it actually looked dramatically different.

I didn't expect much would happen over the Christmas and New Year break, when just about everything closes down, some of it for over a week at a time. So I was pleasantly surprised this morning to see that the pedestrianised area, at least, appears to be almost finished:
