New Bralos–Amfissa Highway Boosts Central Greece Road Links

A major infrastructure project is underway in Central Greece, poised to significantly enhance the region’s road network and its connectivity to Western Greece. Following the launch of the Patras–Pyrgos motorway, construction has begun on the Bralos–Amfissa highway — a vital and ambitious roadway quietly taking shape within the rugged landscape.

This new road axis, often referred to as “invisible” due to its seamless integration into the natural terrain, is gradually coming to life. Of the total 24-kilometre stretch, a substantial portion traverses particularly challenging topography, requiring extensive and technically complex engineering solutions.

To meet these demands, six construction sites have been established along the route. Central to the project are two major tunnels — measuring 2.2 km and 2.4 km respectively — six bridges spanning a total of one kilometre, and six grade-separated interchanges. These elements reflect the scale and sophistication of the undertaking.

A Boost for Road Safety and Regional Development

Construction activity is now visible along nearly the entire length of the project. Bridge works are actively progressing, and earthmoving operations have been deployed across the route.

Once completed, the Bralos–Amfissa highway is expected to deliver substantial improvements in road safety and travel efficiency, reducing journey times between Patras, Antirrio, and Lamia. It is also set to catalyze tourism development along the northern coastlines of the Corinthian and Patraic Gulfs, as well as the wider region through which it passes.

The Bralos–Amfissa route forms part of the broader Lamia–Itea corridor. With a contract value of 207 million euros, the project is slated for completion in early 2028.
