Wednesday, 8 July 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

Traffic on the BOAK (Crete's main east-west highway) will be interrupted on Wednesday, July 9, 2026. The closure affects a specific section of the road, though the exact location and hours were not detailed in the original report. Travelers planning to drive across the island on that date should expect delays and may need to use alternative routes. If you are heading between Heraklion and eastern Crete, or traveling toward Chania from the east, allow extra time and check local traffic updates before departing. Local detour signs will be in place during the interruption. Renting a GPS or using an offline maps app is recommended so you can navigate alternative roads efficiently. The disruption is expected to be temporary and linked to ongoing highway construction works.
