Brief BOAK Highway Closure Scheduled Thursday July 9 in Crete

Wednesday, 8 July 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

A brief traffic interruption is scheduled on the BOAK, Crete's main east-west highway, on Thursday July 9, 2026, between 10:00 and 15:00. The closure affects a specific section of the road and is expected to last only a few minutes, though the exact timing within that window may vary. Tourists driving across the island during this period should plan accordingly and allow extra time for their journey. If you are traveling between Heraklion and eastern Crete, or heading toward Agios Nikolaos and Sitia, consider departing before 10:00 or after 15:00 to avoid any disruption. Local authorities have not indicated an alternative route, suggesting the interruption will be short enough that waiting on-site is the most practical option.
