Lefkada can now be reached quicker from Athens – Impressive drone video

A great project to bring Lefkada closer to Athens is expected to be completed in two months. See the drone video!

Amvrakia Odos, one of the largest road projects in Western Greece, is almost complete as its last section is expected to be operable at the end of November.

The Drymos-Vonitsa section, with particular technical challenges due to its mountainous nature, offers significant road improvements for the region since the completion of the road will change the way of travel in Western Greece.

Specifically, the Lefkada-Athens route is expected to be reduced to approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes, thus offering drivers significant time and fuel savings.

In addition, the new road will directly connect Aktiou with the Ionian Road, strengthening the overall road infrastructure of the region.

With a budget of 160.5 million euros, Amvrakia Odos will have four traffic lanes and bypass Amfilochia and Vonitsa, thus facilitating faster traffic. The recent completion of the Amfilochia Bypass has already relieved the city of the burden of traffic, proving the value of the project.
