The bridge on Old Poseidonos Avenue over the Ilissos River reopened to traffic Monday, ending a year of major commuter delays.

Regional authorities removed detours and reactivated traffic lights between Thiseos Avenue and Kapodistriou Street.

Officials stated the reconstructed bridge resolves critical structural vulnerabilities, significantly improves traffic flow, and enhances local flood protections by removing barriers that previously restricted river water flow and accumulated debris during heavy storms.
