According to an announcement by the Regional Authority of Attica, the roadworks aim at repairing damages on the asphalt and are expected to last 15 days, so around June 18 2019..
In the context of traffic regulations, there will be a temporary stoppage of vehicle traffic on the two right lanes of Syggrou, from the height of Kallirroe Street to the height of Franztis Street, the Attica Region said in a statement. The Authority warns motorists to drive carefully and follow the traffic regulations.
The new trouble for Athenians comes just days after huge traffic jams on Poseidonos Avenue on Saturday morning and evening.
