A90 motorway (Greece)

The A90 motorway, also known as the Northern Road Axis of Crete (Greek: Βόρειος Οδικός Άξονας Κρήτης, ΒΟΑΚ),[1][2] is a mixture of motorway and limited-access roads that form the northern backbone of the national highway network in Crete, southern Greece.

Construction began in the 1990s, but to date, only sections bypassing the major cities were turned into a four-lane motorway with interchanges, while for the most part the highway remains a trunk road.

[3] Highway 90, once completed, will cross North Crete, starting at Kissamos and ending at Sitia, following exactly the route of National Road 90.

Motorway 90 connects to marine ports Kavonisi, Kissamos, Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos and Sitia In the 1990s, National Road 90, built in the late 1960s, experienced traffic congestion.

[4] The Greek Ministry of Infrastructure plans the complete upgrade of the road to a four-lane highway.

In the second scenario, central bank refunds can be used to finance the project, which is being considered at the highest government level.
