Thursday, 14 May 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

Temporary traffic restrictions are in effect on the BOAK (Northern Road Axis of Crete) near Chania, following a decision by the Chania Police Directorate. The measures have been put in place to allow maintenance and construction works to proceed safely along this major east-west highway. Travelers driving between Chania and other parts of Crete should expect lane closures or reduced traffic flow in the affected sections. Delays are possible, particularly during peak travel hours. Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time, follow signage and instructions from road workers on site, and consider checking local traffic updates before departure. The BOAK is the main road artery connecting western and eastern Crete, so disruptions can affect journeys between Chania, Heraklion, and destinations along the northern coast. No specific end date for the works has been announced.
