Repair works are currently underway on the Agios Ioannis Xostos bridge along the BOAK, Crete's main east-west highway running along the northern coast. The works aim to fix structural damage to the bridge. Drivers traveling between Heraklion and eastern Crete should expect possible disruptions or lane restrictions in this area. If you are renting a car and planning to travel along the northern coastal route, allow extra time for your journey and follow signage on-site for detours or speed reductions.

No timeline for completion has been specified in the current report.
