Back to newsThe BOAK highway will experience brief traffic interruptions on Friday, July 3, 2026, between 10:00 and 15:00, along the Agios Nikolaos to Neapoli section in eastern Crete. The closures are caused by controlled blasting operations, likely related to ongoing construction work on the highway. Interruptions are expected to be short but may cause delays during the midday period. Tourists driving between Heraklion and the eastern part of the island, including popular destinations like Agios Nikolaos and Elounda, should plan their journeys accordingly. Consider traveling before 10:00 or after 15:00 to avoid disruptions. Local authorities will manage traffic flow during blasting windows.
