Nea Diagonios
editNea Diagonios is an unnumbered national road in central and southern Thessaloniki: it used to run between Thessaloniki and Nea Moudania, before the A24 took over the section south of Foinikas.[4] Today, Nea Diagonios is about 8.35 kilometres (5.19 miles) long,[5] and runs between Dimokratias Square in the city centre and junction 12 of the Thessaloniki Inner Ring Road near Foinikas, following the Egnatia and Konstantinou Karamanli streets.[6]
Nea Diagonios was created by Ministerial Decision DMEO/e/O/1308/1995 of 15 December 1995,[4] and was numbered the EO105γ for statistical purposes by the National Statistical Service of Greece (ESYE) in 1998.[7]
