Protection against rockfall: an emergency measure on the Tempi valley highway between Athens and Salonica, Greece After two rockfall events in quick succession in December 2009, the highway through the Tempi Valley, which carries 20,000 vehicles each day, had to be closed to all traffic. The emergency measures required to secure the road, were initiated in January 2010, with the aim being to reopen the road on April 1, 2010 for two weeks for the Easter traffic. After Easter the construction work continued and the road was reopened to traffic once again in May 2010, ahead of schedule. Read more about this project in our photographic documentation
