Back to newsA formal criminal complaint has been filed with the public prosecutor against construction company GEK TERNA over an unannounced, sudden closure on the BOAK highway in Crete. The BOAK is the main east-west motorway connecting Chania to Heraklion and beyond, currently under ongoing construction. The unexpected disruption caused significant traffic congestion with no prior warning given to drivers. Locals and officials described the incident as a "blockage" that paralyzed movement along one of the island's most critical transport routes. Tourists driving between Crete's major cities and resort areas should expect potential delays on the BOAK, particularly in the Malevizi municipality area near Heraklion. Check local traffic updates before long road trips across the island, and allow extra travel time when using this highway.
