Greek National Road 39
Greek National Road 39 (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 39, EO39) is a national highway of Greece. It connects Tripoli with Gytheio via Sparti.[1] It is connected with the Greek National Road 7 (Corinth - Kalamata) in Tripoli, with the A7 motorway (Corinth - Kalamata) south of Tripoli, with the Greek National Road 82 (Pylos - Kalamata - Sparti) in Sparti, and with the Greek National Road 86 (Krokees - Monemvasia) in Krokees. Until 2016, the EO39 coincided with the European route E961 for most of its length, now it is mainly designated on the A71.
Since April 18, 2016, most of the traffic between Sparti and Tripoli is carried by the A71 motorway (Megalopoli - Lefktro - Sparti).[2]
History
Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the EO39 from the old EO60, which existed by royal decree from 1955 until 1963, and followed the same route as the current EO39.[3][4]
