Work continues on the northern pipeline – New traffic measures on Eth. Paleokastritsa Road

As of Tuesday afternoon, repair work on the major fault in the town's northern main water supply pipeline remains ongoing after a leak was discovered near the Alykes Potamou junction. Because the work is continuing, the police have issued a new announcement extending the temporary traffic measures on the Corfu–Paleokastritsa National Road.

Traffic is temporarily operating in both directions using the outbound lane, due to the works being carried out on the main water supply pipeline.

The traffic measures are being implemented along the section of the National Road between the Alykes junction and the Potamos (Solari) junction, where repair work is taking place to fix the fault in the main pipeline.

According to the police announcement, the inbound lane remains closed, while traffic is being directed in both directions through the outbound lane, which is temporarily operating as a two-way road.

At the same time, traffic flow at the Alykes and Potamos (Solari) junctions has been modified, with vehicles not permitted to make cross movements until the completion of the works.

Drivers are advised to reduce their speed, follow the temporary roadworks signage, and comply with the instructions of the traffic police officers stationed in the area.

The fault in the town’s northern water supply pipeline continues to require repair work, with restrictions on vehicle traffic remaining in place.

The fault in the northern pipeline, which supplies a large part of Corfu Town, occurred on Tuesday and requires extensive intervention by DEYAK crews. As of late Tuesday afternoon, the repair work was still ongoing, with no exact timeframe yet announced for the full restoration of the pipeline and the return of traffic to normal conditions.
