Traffic was interrupted in both directions on the Athens-Corinth motorway on Thursday due to a fuel truck that caught fire at Kakia Skala, in the Corinth-bound lanes.
Police have closed the motorway from the 42nd km heading towards Corinth and from the 50.5st km in the direction towards Athens.

Nine fire engines and 27 firefighters were trying to put out the fire.

Shortly afterward, police announced the closure of the old Athens-Corinth national road for all traffic as well, between the Megara junction and the Kinetta junction in both directions.
