Work to begin on the Eth. Palaiokastritsa Rd in Solari next week

On Tuesday 22nd May the contractor will begin work on the section of Eth. Palaiokastritsas Road between Platytera and the Alykes junction at Potamos. The construction team has already been in Corfu for about a week to make all the necessary preparations and work with the authorities, such as the Traffic Police as well as with the local business owners.

According to the plan of action, work will begin at both ends of the road, surfacing the section of the road from Alykes to the turn-off for Potamos - where a roundabout is planned - and from Platytera to the Panagouli junction - where a roundabout is also planned.

In the Alykes section a central reservation will be built to separation the two directions of traffic. A roundabout is also planned for the Kefalomantouko junction, which is why there was a compulsory purchase of land there.

According to sources in the Regional Administration, at each stage of the procedure and depending on the specific needs one lane of traffic will be closed off. When this happens, the contractor is responsible for traffic to town being diverted along the coastal road - Eth. Antistaseos.

The disruption will last for less than twelve months as the deadlines are extremely tight and the work must be completed by March 2019.
