Back to newsConstruction crews briefly halted traffic on the BOAK, Crete's main east-west highway, to carry out controlled rock blasting. The interruption lasted only a few minutes and was planned as part of ongoing roadwork along the route. The BOAK is a major artery connecting Heraklion with eastern Crete, including popular destinations such as Agios Nikolaos and Elounda. Tourists driving along this corridor may occasionally encounter short, scheduled stops due to construction activity. If you are traveling on the BOAK, allow extra time in your journey and follow directions from traffic personnel on site. These controlled blasting operations are standard procedure during highway construction and pose no danger to passing vehicles when properly managed.
