Crete's Regional Authority has renewed and extended the validity of temporary traffic arrangements on National Road 90 (Π.Ε.Ο. 90) in the road section between Kastelli Kissamos and Kalo Chorio Lasithi. The decision, issued on April 24, 2026, approves continued traffic management measures for ongoing road safety improvement works in this area.
Project Details
The traffic arrangements support construction activities as part of the broader Road Safety Improvement Project for Crete's road network. The works in this section include asphalt paving, road line marking and marking, and guardrail installation. The contractor responsible for the project is ODOS A.T.E., with supervision and oversight provided by the Technical Works Directorate of the Crete Regional Authority.
What Travelers Should Know
The extension of these temporary traffic arrangements means that travelers using National Road 90 between Kastelli Kissamos and Kalo Chorio Lasithi should expect continued traffic management measures in place. These arrangements are designed to ensure both worker safety and public safety during the ongoing road improvements. Drivers are advised to be alert for temporary traffic signs, work zones, and possible minor delays in this area.
For those planning travel along this corridor, it is recommended to allow additional travel time and to follow all temporary traffic instructions and signs posted at the work site. The Regional Authority periodically reviews and extends these traffic management measures based on the progress of construction activities.
