BOAK Bridge Construction Causes Traffic Delays in Northern Crete

Tuesday, 23 June 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

Construction works at the Xiropotamos bridge on the BOAK highway (the main east-west motorway crossing northern Crete) are currently causing traffic regulations in the area. Drivers should expect lane restrictions, possible delays, and temporary diversions near the bridge site. The BOAK is the primary road connecting Heraklion with eastern Crete, including popular destinations such as Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Sitia. Tourists renting a car or traveling by bus along this route should allow extra travel time and follow on-site signage carefully. Local authorities are managing traffic flow during the works. No specific timeline for completion has been announced. If you are planning to drive this stretch of highway, check for updates before departure and consider traveling outside peak hours to minimize delays.
