The Korinthos – Tripoli – Kalamata motorway and Lefktro – Sparti branch is part of the second stage of the modernisation and development scheme, of the country’s major road networks, executed through co-financed projects, which were awarded after the year 2000. The objective of the project, which is part of the Trans-European Network (TEN), is to form one of the main factors of the regional development of the Central and Southern Peloponnese and particularly the districts of Arkadia, Argolida, Messinia and Lakonia.

Moreas Motorway reduces travel times between the areas it links. Travel time from Athens to Kalamata and Athens to Sparti is now possible in just over two hours, while there will be substantial time savings along routes within the Peloponnese region (i.e. Kalamata-Sparti). The upgrade of the road safety in the aforementioned routes is also of significant importance.
