Phase B’ works to reconstruct the Bridge of the Athens-Korinthos Old National Road in the area of Loutraki Interchange

In order to safely continue the implementation of the works for the reconstruction of the Bridge of the Athens-Korinthos Old National Road in the area of the Loutraki Interchange (k.p. 75.4), traffic arrangements will be applied in the area from Wednesday 15.01.2025 to and including Friday 28.02.2025.

In particular, the left branch (to Athens) will be closed to traffic, while a two-way traffic arrangement will be implemented on the right branch (to Korinthos) along 1 km (from k.p. 75.2 to k.p. 76.2), with 2 traffic lanes in the direction to Korinthos and 2 lanes in the direction to Athens, as shown on the following diagram:

It is pointed out that, according to the Decision ref. 2501/10/717/501-γ dated 11.01.2025 of the Police Direction of Korinthia, during the period when the said traffic arrangements will apply:

1. The entrance ramp of Epidavros I/C (k.p. 76.4), in the direction to Athens, will be closed to traffic. Those who want to enter the motorway via this interchange heading to Athens shall follow the relevant information signs to the previous interchange of Korinthos (k.p. 81.1), make a U turn and enter the motorway (red dotted line), while light vehicles (<3T) can also be served via the submerged bridge at Isthmia.

2. The circulation of all trucks with a maximum permissible weight of more than 3.5 tons is prohibited on the section from Loutraki I/C (k.p. 75.4) to Epidavros I/C (k.p. 76.4):
   • every Friday from 16:00 p.m. to 21:00 p.m. and every Saturday from 08:00 a.m. to 13:00 p.m. in the direction to Korinthos
   • and every Sunday from 15:00 p.m. to 22:00 p.m. in both directions.

As an aid for truck drivers, it is noted that:

• In the direction to Patras, they shall alternatively use the ONR, exiting the Motorway at Loutraki I/C and re-entering at Epidavros I/C.
• In the direction to Athens, there is no detour available and they will have to plan their routes accordingly or, for the duration of the ban to traffic, wait in an available area before the specific area (e.g. Kiato MSS, Spathovouni MSS).

C. During the weekend, and when traffic conditions so require, a third lane to Athens may be temporarily provided via the blocked left branch.

Olympia Odos kindly requests the drivers to comply with the relevant signage and the instructions of the Traffic Police, as well as to be particularly careful when crossing the said area.
