Greece: Activists to demonstrate in Patras Nov. 3
Activists to protest at Rio-Antirrio Bridge in Patras, Greece, from 11:00 Nov. 3. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest at the Rio-Antirrio Bridge in Patras from 11:00 Nov. 3. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce the planned construction of an offshore windfarm. It was not immediately clear how many participants planned to attend or where in the area of the bridge organizers planned to gather.
Heightened security and transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Should protesters attempt to obstruct bridge traffic, severe backups are possible in both directions. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out.
Allow additional time if traveling via the Rio-Antirrio Bridge. Check expected travel times via the bridge prior to departure, and consider alternate routes if there are severe backups. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
