History
Construction began on an underpass when traffic increased on Lenorman Avenue in the mid-20th century. Later in the mid to late 20th century, construction began on an overpass with Petrou Ralli Avenue and a junction in the northwestern section. In 1992, a part of the avenue shut down detouring Athinon Avenue (GR-8 and GR-8A, E94 westbound) and redirected the traffic through Palamidou Street and the southern half of Lenorman Avenue. It lasted for about a year when an overpass was built with an Athens-bound exit and a westbound entrance and the road was finally re-opened. Between 1993 and 1994, construction began at Konstantinoupoleos and another avenue linking with Kallirois Street and an interchange with Pireos Street. It removed the railway crossing and an underpass about 500 m long. The northern part ran through the railway crossings while the avenue link runs below.
