The Technical Works Directorate of the Rethymno Regional Unit is conducting cleaning operations along road ditches and embankments in the area. As part of this work, authorities are formally requesting that property owners who have illegally placed wire fencing, tires, or other materials inside road drainage ditches and roadside slopes remove them immediately. The initiative aims to maintain safe and clear road infrastructure across the region. For tourists driving in and around Rethymno, temporary roadside work may be visible along rural and secondary roads. Drivers should remain alert to maintenance crews and equipment near road edges. If you are renting a car and traveling through the Rethymno prefecture, allow extra caution on narrower roads where shoulder clearing work may be underway. No major route closures have been announced in connection with these operations.
