Crete Traffic Restrictions Extended on Heraklion-Viannos Road

Thursday, 30 April 2026/SourceFlashnews/1 min read
Traffic restrictions on the road connecting Heraklion to Viannos, in the eastern interior of Crete, have been extended following interventions raised by the Mayor of Minoa Pediada at the Regional Council. The mayor presented four specific concerns regarding the axis, prompting authorities to maintain current traffic management measures while work or assessments continue. Travelers driving between Heraklion and the Viannos area, including those heading to villages in the Asterousia foothills or the southern coast, should expect possible delays, lane controls, or detours along this route. It is advisable to check local traffic updates before departure, allow extra travel time, and follow signage from road workers on site. Alternative routes via the northern coastal highway may be considered depending on your destination.
