BOAK Highway Lane Closure Causes Delays Near Heraklion Thursday

Wednesday, 13 May 2026/SourceFlashnews/1 min read
Temporary traffic restrictions are in effect on the BOAK highway (the main east-west motorway across northern Crete) near Heraklion this Thursday. One lane has been closed, causing reduced traffic flow along this key route. Drivers are urged to exercise extra caution in the affected area. Tourists traveling between Heraklion and eastern Crete destinations such as Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, or Sitia should expect possible delays and allow extra travel time. Consider checking local traffic conditions before departure and, if possible, plan journeys outside peak morning and afternoon hours to avoid congestion near the closure zone.
