Back to newsStriking drone footage has captured the ongoing construction of major road interchanges in Heraklion, Crete's largest city and administrative capital. The new junctions are part of broader infrastructure upgrades aimed at improving traffic flow in and around the city. Construction is actively underway, meaning drivers passing through Heraklion may encounter lane restrictions, detours, or delays in affected areas. Tourists arriving at Heraklion International Airport or traveling along the northern coastal road should allow extra time when driving through the city center. Local authorities have not announced a specific completion date. Visitors renting cars are advised to check current road conditions before setting out and to use GPS navigation that reflects recent route changes. The upgrades are expected to significantly ease congestion once complete, benefiting both residents and the large number of tourists who pass through Heraklion each summer.
