Greece Ministry of Infrastructure to inspect Crete road and airport projects

Leadership from the Greek Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is scheduled to visit Crete on Thursday, October 29, 2026, to inspect major transportation developments. The visit includes an inspection of the Northern Road Axis of Crete (BOAK) on the Neapoli–Agios Nikolaos section.

While official plans involve the delivery of the road segment, reports indicate that only 6 kilometers of the originally planned 10-kilometer stretch may be opened to traffic immediately, with the remaining sections expected to be completed in early 2027. Delays have also been noted regarding the construction of key junctions in Neapoli, Limnes, and Agios Nikolaos.

Additionally, the ministry will visit the site of the new international airport under construction in Kastelli. A Memorandum of Cooperation will be signed to establish a research and technological innovation center within the new airport's facilities.
