The BOAK highway between Agios Nikolaos and Neapoli will experience brief, temporary traffic stops on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, between 10:00 and 15:00. The interruptions are caused by controlled blasting as part of ongoing construction works on this section of the north-south Cretan highway. Drivers traveling between Agios Nikolaos and Neapoli during those hours should expect short delays at designated stop points while blasting operations take place. The closures are described as lasting only a few minutes at a time. If you are driving along the eastern part of Crete on Wednesday morning, plan extra time for your journey or consider traveling before 10:00 or after 15:00 to avoid any inconvenience. Normal traffic flow is expected to resume after 15:00.
