A new series of landslides in Epirus has cut off road access between the towns of Arta and Amfilochia, leaving residents and travelers stranded. The disruption affects both the modern Ionian Highway and the older national road, which had temporarily served as an alternative route.
The latest landslide occurred early Friday morning at Katafourko in Amfilochia, where heavy rainfall caused large amounts of soil and rocks to slide onto the road. Authorities have closed the affected sections and deployed excavation machinery to remove debris, but the situation remains ongoing.
Police are currently diverting traffic, though alternate routes are unclear due to the closure of both the main and old roads. Drivers are urged to contact the Greek police at 100 for real-time updates before traveling in the area.
According to local reporters, emergency services have cleared mud from the roadway to prevent accidents, while heavy water runoff from the mountain continues to cascade onto the street, creating hazardous conditions.
