National Road 59 (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 59), abbreviated as the EO59, is a national road in north eastern Greece. The EO59 runs within Central Macedonia, connecting Serres with the A2 motorway and the EO2 in Amphipolis.[2]
Route
[edit]The EO59 is officially defined as a north–south route within the Serres regional unit: it branches off the EO12 at Mesorrachi, and heads south to Amphipolis and the junction with the A2 motorway and the EO2.[2]
History
[edit]Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the EO59 from the old EO44, which existed by royal decree from 1955 until 1963, and followed the same route as the current EO59.[2][3] In 1995, the EO59 was subclassified as part of the secondary national network.[4]
