From today, June 1, 2023, the Corinth Canal is reopening.
The work on strengthening the side slopes is largely completed, and small and large boats have been crossing the canal since early morning. For heavy vessels, the channel will be available until September 30. From October 1, the work will enter the final stage, and it is expected that in February 2024 the channel will return to its normal round-the-clock operation.
Recall, as we wrote earlier “Athenian News”, work on the installation of underwater pillars, which will form a new canal bed, continues at a feverish pace. According to the Greek TV channel ΣΚΑΙ, the builders must meet the schedule, according to which the Corinth Canal should be returned to operation in early summer and be safer than ever for the passage of ships.
The images taken by Up Stories with a dedicated drone with a powerful telephoto lens (zoom) are really impressive, as the size of the entire project is huge and has a high degree of complexity.
