TLDR

  • Increased traffic congestion is reported across Athens and its surrounding Attica region on Tuesday, April 28.
  • Significant queues have formed on Kifissos Avenue in both directions, causing severe delays from early morning.
  • Accidents and road closures are contributing to the traffic issues, with specific delays noted on Attiki Odos.

Drivers in Athens faced a challenging start to their Tuesday, with widespread traffic congestion gripping the capital and its suburbs. Kifissos Avenue, a major artery, became virtually impassable in both directions, leading to extensive queues and frustrating delays for commuters. The situation was exacerbated by a traffic accident on Vouliagmeni Avenue, where a truck overturned near the old airport, causing further disruption. Beyond these major choke points, increased traffic was observed on Syngrou Avenue, roads around the city center, Kifisias Avenue, and Mesogeion Avenue. Even the Attiki Odos toll road experienced significant delays in both directions, impacting travel times to and from the airport and towards Lamia. The daily struggle of navigating Athens's notoriously dense traffic continues, testing the patience of residents and visitors alike.
