The police on Thursday closed the Athens-bound lanes of the new Athens-Patras national highway to traffic at the 161st kilometre, in the Elaionas region, due to problems caused by the heavy rain in the area.
The old Athens-Patras national road has also been closed in both directions in the same area, while traffic has been diverted due to the bad weather at Metohi, Achaia.
Hellenic Train, meanwhile, has cancelled the Diakopto-Kalavryta-Diakopto train service on Thursday due to heavy rain and pooling of water on the line, as well as partially cancelling the Patras Proastiakos trains 11306 and 11307 in the section of the line between Patras station and Agios Andreas station.
