It took more than a decade of work, but one of Greece’s most dangerous roads – previously known as “The Highway of Death” – was replaced with the Olympia Odos Motorway. Its design had to account for the highly seismic northern shoreline of the Peloponnese Coast, as well as archaeological resources inherent to a region that has been inhabited since 5000 B.C.
