Note: when certain highways that carry European routes are replaced with motorways, the European routes will be re-assigned to the new motorways. For example, GR-7 carries the E65 from Tripoli to Kalamata. When the Corinth-Tripoli-Kalamata motorway is complete, E65 will run through it and not through GR-7 anymore.


Motorways:

GR-1 and GR-8A, together, form the "PAThE Motorway" from the initials of the route: Patras - Athens - Thessaloniki - Evzoni, the latter being the last village before the FYROM border. Note that some parts of this route are not up to motorway standards yet, but there are plans for them to be upgraded. These parts are: Patras-Corinth, Maliakos Bay, and Tempe Valley. As of early 2006, works are in progress around Maliakos Bay, and the other two parts are being planned or tendered. They are expected to be completed around 2012. Its full length will be 752 kilometres or 467.4 miles, including 14 km or 8.7 mi shared route with Via Egnatia. (See GR-1, GR-8A)
Via Egnatia or "Egnatia Odos" in Greek, is a new motorway that parallels GR-2 for most of its way (see above). Despite what some believe, GR-2 and Via Egnatia ARE NOT the same road. It is yet unnumbered and referred to with that name, although it will be numbered GR-2, replacing the previous road, when completed. It will be fully complete in 2008. Its full length will be 670 kilometres or 416.4 miles. (see Via Egnatia)
The "Corinth-Tripoli-Kalamata motorway" is unnumbered and is not in the list. It roughly runs parallel to GR-7. As of 2006, it is still under constuction from Tripoli to Kalamata, while the part from Corinth to Tripoli was completed in the 1990s. Its full length will be 205 kilometres or 127.4 miles, including an auxiliary route to Sparta.
The urban "Attiki Odos motorway" is also unnumbered and not in the list. Its full length is 65 kilometres or 40.4 miles. It is planned to be extended to various directions, bringing its total length to 141 km or 87.6 miles.
GR-90, located in Crete, is currently being upgraded to motorway, with certain parts already complete, as of early 2006. It is also known as "North Crete motorway", and its full length will be 310 kilometres or 192.7 miles.
There are plans to build a new motorway which will be called "Ionia Odos" or Via Ionia, named after the Ionian Sea. It will start at Ioannina, at a junction with Via Egnatia, and go south to Antirio, Patras, Pyrgos and end at Kalamata. It will run parallel to GR-5, GR-9 up to the junction with GR-9A, then parallel to the latter and finally paraller to GR-7 from the GR-9A junction to Kalamata. As of early 2006, the only constructed parts are: Arta Bypass (partly), Agrinio Bypass (partly), Rio-Antirio bridge, Patras Bypass. Its full length will be 408 kilometres or 253.6 miles.
There are plans to build a motorway from Lamia to Via Egnatia (with which it will connect) to accommodate the E65. As of early 2006, it is expected to be tendered and start construction by late 2006. It is known as "Central Greece motorway", and its full length will be 175 kilometres or 109.4 miles.

Note 1: Except for the previously mentioned motorways, all other highways in Greece are undivided 2-laned. Lengths are approximate, with a 1 km (0.6 mi) margin of error.

Note 2: After this big project of new motorway construction is completed, motorways will be numbered to the same numbers as the previous roads that they replace. This means that GR-2 will be the Via Egnatia motorway, etc.
