Road works on the Northern Road Axis of Crete (BOAK) are causing temporary traffic restrictions in the villages of Kalyves and Nopigeia, in the Chania regional unit, until September. The measures were announced by the Chania Police Directorate and are in place to allow construction work to proceed safely along this major east-west highway. Travelers driving between Chania and eastern Crete should expect possible detours, lane closures, or delays in this section. If you are renting a car or planning road trips along the northern coast, allow extra travel time when passing through the Kalyves and Nopigeia area. Check local traffic updates before departing, as conditions may change throughout the summer season.
