User:Minoa/International E-road network in Greece

The International E-road network has covered Greece since the Declaration on the construction of main international traffic arteries, which established the first E-road network in the country, was signed on 16 September 1950.

Current network (1989–present)

On 9 January 1989, Greece joined the European Agreement on Main International Traffic Arteries (AGR), and adopted the current E-road network.

There are currently fourteen E-roads within Greece, of which nine are Class A, and five Class B: Places in italics are where the national road numbers change, but do not appear in the current consolidated text of the AGR.

Proposed changes

The E55 will be rerouted away from the EO9 between Mintilogli and Pyrgos, when the next southern extension of the A5 motorway opens: according to To Vima on 29 April 2024, the expected completion date is by the end of 2025. In the long term, the E55 will follow the A5 to Oichalia via Kalo Nero, replacing the EO9 and EO9a.

The E65 will be rerouted away from the EO3 between Kozani and Lamia, when the last section of the A3 motorway between Kalabaka and Kipoureio opens: the revised route will follow the A2 (Egnatia Odos) towards Kipoureio, and then the A3 itself towards Anthili via Trikala, where it joins the A1.

1950 network

Page with list of amendments: https://treaties.un.org/pages/ViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XI-B-7&chapter=11&clang=_en

Greece acceded to the Declaration on 1 July 1952: the original E-road network in Greece started with eight routes, with the E5 and E20 overlapped between Gefyra and Lagyna via Thessaloniki.

The original network was modified many times during its existence from 16 September 1950 to 15 November 1975: on 6 June 1952 (a month before Greece's accession to the Declaration) the E5 was extended from Alexandroupolis to Kipoi and the border with Turkey; the E106, between Ioannina and Igoumenitsa, was added on 30 December 1958 and then replaced by the realigned E19 on 17 November 1962.

After the introduction of the current National Road network in Greece, the following E-roads in Greece were changed on 23 September 1966: the E5 in Greece became the E5^S, due to a new northern branch from Niš, Yugoslavia (now Serbia) to Silivri, Turkey; the E90 was extended from Kozani to Larissa to overlap with the E92; and the E92 between Larissa and Lamia was diverted via Almyros in line with the EO1, overlapping with the E87 between Larissa and Velestino. The section between Makaza and Komotini became part of the E97 on 7 November 1967, even though the border with Bulgaria was not open there until 2013.

TODO: 1968/651 amendment to E5 is unclear.
