The E952 was introduced with the current E-road network, which was finalised on 15 November 1975 and implemented on 15 March 1983: it was originally known as the E951, and was then a new route that ran from Amfilochia to Lamia.[1]
On 12 September 1986, the original E951 became the E952, and was extended to Aktio: the E951 number was then reused for the former E957.[4] On 22 July 2022, the E952 was rerouted via Lake Amvrakia instead of Amfilochia, when a section of the A52 motorway opened between the A5 near Katouna and Loutraki, avoiding Amfilochia entirely.[3]
Route
Since 2022, the E952 runs from Aktio in the west to Lamia in the east, via Vonitsa, Lake Amvrakia and Karpenisi.[2][3] In relation to the national road network, the E952 currently follows (in order, from west to east):[5]
The E952 runs concurrently with the E55 from Aktio to Kouvaras, and the E951 from Lake Amvrakia to Agrinio. The E952 also connects with the E65 at Lamia.[2]
