The new by-pass road looks ok - but not open

I wonder when the new Avliotes by-pas road will actually open??
It looks finished!!

I wondered that too. Our friend scooted along it on his bike and he said it was almost ready.

The road isn't finished.  In the middle a small bridge needs to be built over a dirt track type road, so that the locals have access to their land.  Not sure when this will be completed.  There seems to be a dispute over the cost.  I go running on that road and am amazed at the amount of cars using the road, when there are no entry signs at both ends.  Already some of the loose chippings and rocks have already been displaced.  Only a matter ot time before there is an accident, as most of the cares and bikes that are using the road are driving far too fast over the part of the road yet to be completed.

Yes I agree, some silly speeds on an unfinished road.
I am afraid I respected the no entry signs, therefore no picture of that section, but saw the dust clouds in the distance when a quad bike flew along it.
Please let us all know when it finally opens and common sense prevails on all sides with a sensible compromise.

Greek roads are dangerous. King Oedipus met Laios on a road and killed him, only to discover that he had killed his very own father.

Then, later, Clytemnestra stabbed Agamemnon to death in the bathroom.

This is the key to modern Greece. Never finish anything, or tragedy will ensue.

More dangerous are sockets hanging out of walls, more annoying are leaking unfinished roofs, done it all in the past - I'll risk it Jim!!

Will keep you updated on progress.  Also, not far behind the petrol station, Dimitris Church is in scaffolding.  The church has to be moved further back from the road.  There is no tarmac on this part of the road either.  I really hope that whatever dispute is going on, is resolved soon.
