The Via Egnatia (Greek: Ἐγνατία Ὁδός) was a road constructed by the Romans in the 2nd century BC. It crossed the Roman provinces of Illyricum, Macedonia, and Thrace,
running through territory that is now part of modern Albania, the
Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Greece, and European Turkey.
Work on the Egnatia Motorway
project, which spans northern Greece, is due to be completed by the end
of the year, Public Works and Environment Minister Giorgos Souflias
said while inspecting the progress of works last week. The
Egnatia Motorway, now near completion, runs 670 km (416 miles) from the
Greek-Turkish border on the Evros river to the western Greek port of Igoumenitsa.
