The Municipality of Chios will complete the first section of the Regional Road of Chios with this project. The project will contribute greatly to the traffic decongestion of the city of Chios by diverting traffic out of the centre, especially during peak hours and during the summer months. It will also have a significant impact on the development of the wider area, with the shift of long-city traffic outside the city limits, resulting in all the benefits of a better, faster and safer road. Parallel to the detour will be arranged and the riverbed of Parthenis next to which the road will be located, in order to protect this and consequently the surrounding area from floods, which is now very common and occur almost annually.
