The BOAK highway will be temporarily closed to traffic on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, between 10:00 and 15:00, on the section between Agios Nikolaos and Neapoli in eastern Crete. The closures will be brief and are related to ongoing construction or maintenance work along this major east-west road corridor. Travelers planning to drive between Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos during those morning hours should expect short delays or possible detours on that stretch. If your itinerary includes visiting Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, or the Lasithi plateau on Wednesday, consider departing earlier in the morning or after 15:00 to avoid disruption. Local signage and traffic personnel will be in place to guide drivers during the interruption.
