BOAK Highway: Traffic Disruptions Friday Due to Construction

Friday, 19 June 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

Temporary traffic interruptions are in effect on the BOAK highway between Neapoli and Agios Nikolaos on the northeastern coast of Crete. The disruption is scheduled for Friday and is caused by ongoing construction works on this major east-west road corridor. Travelers driving between Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos or heading further east toward Elounda, Sitia, or the Lasithi Plateau should expect delays and potential route diversions in this section. It is advisable to allow extra travel time, follow signage from traffic authorities on site, and consider checking local traffic conditions before departure. The BOAK highway is a long-term infrastructure project aimed at improving connectivity across Crete, so periodic short-term closures for construction are common along its route.
