Back to newsRoad works are underway on the BOAK, the main east-west highway crossing Crete, where a bridge is being repaired over a three-day period. Traffic management measures are in effect during the works, which may cause delays or lane restrictions along this key route. The BOAK is the primary road connecting Heraklion to eastern Crete, including popular destinations such as Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Sitia. Tourists driving between central and eastern Crete should allow extra travel time and follow signs from local traffic authorities. Works are expected to last three days, after which normal traffic flow will resume. Travelers are advised to check local updates before setting out on longer road trips across the island.
