Moreas Motorway

The Moreas Motorway (Greek: Αυτοκινητόδρομος Μωρέας, designated: A7) is a motorway in Peloponnese, Greece. Locally it is known as the Moréas (Μωρέας), which was the medieval name of the Peloponnese. The A7 begins just west of the Isthmus of Corinth, branching off from Greek National Road 8A (which is now integrated into the Olympia Odos). It connects Corinth and Kalamata via Tripoli.

As of November 2012, the motorway section between Corinth and Kalamata is fully constructed and operational, except a few sections near Kalamata to be completed by the end of 2012. The A7 will have a motorway branch from Lefktro to Sparta that is under construction; this branch will be numbered A71.

As part of the concession agreement between the Greek state and the consortium operating the motorway (Moreas S.A.), the latter is responsible for constructing, operating, maintaining and modernizing the A7. In existing sections of the motorway, improvements include the straightening of dangerous curves, constructing new tunnels, completing the Artemision tunnel, adding more light fixtures and upgrading the median throughout.
