- 1.650 major bridges, with a combined length of about 40 km;
- 74 tunnels, with a combined length of 49,5 km or 99 km measured as single carriageway;
- 43 river crossings;
- 11 railway crossings.
Three tunnels are more than 3 km long:
- Driskos Twin-Bore Tunnel, 4.7 km long per carriageway;
- Dodoni Twin-Bore Tunnel, 3.4 km long per carriageway;
- Metsovo Single-Bore Tunnel, 3.5 km long.
