A water main has burst near the Kounoupidiana junction in the Chania region of western Crete. Drivers traveling through that area are advised to exercise caution, as road conditions may be affected by water on the road surface. Kounoupidiana is located along one of the main access routes west of Chania city. If you are driving in that direction, allow extra time and follow any temporary signage or instructions from local authorities. Repairs are underway, but disruption to traffic flow is possible until the pipe is fixed and the area is cleared. Travelers heading toward Chania town center, the old port, or destinations further west should check local traffic updates before setting out and consider alternative routes if delays are reported.
