👉 Greek National Road 8 in the context of Greece Interstate 8A

Greek National Road 8a (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 8a, abbreviated as EO8a) was a toll road in the Attica, Peloponnese and West Greece regions. It connected Athens with the cities of Corinth and Patras. It was built in the 1960s as a replacement for the old National Road 8 as the major route to the Peloponnese, and bypasses most towns. The National Road 8a has gradually been upgraded to a motorway, the A8. Since April 2017, the complete length of the A8 motorway has been operational.

The EO8a started east of Eleusis, where it branched off the old EO8 as a limited-access dual carriageway. Between Megara and Kineta the motorway passed through several tunnels. Its western end was the interchange with the A5 Ionia Odos, near Rio, northeast of Patras.

Greek National Road 8 in the context of A65 motorway (Greece)

The A65 motorway, also known as the Egaleo Ring Road (Greek: Περιφερειακή Αιγαλέου), is a motorway in Athens. Part of the Attiki Odos highway system, it branches off the main A6 motorway, serving western Athens. It is named after the Egaleo mountain range it runs parallel to.

The motorway is meant to serve as a connector road with National Road 8, however, it remains unfinished as the construction of its southernmost 1.4 km section near Skaramagas was delayed and is expected to be completed by 2028.
