Greek National Road 39

The EO39 is officially defined as a north–south road through the Peloponnese: from the junction with the EO7 in Tripoli, the road heads south to Gytheio, via Sparta. The EO39 is part of European route E961 for its entire length. ==History==

Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the EO39 from the old EO60, which existed by royal decree from 1955 until 1963, and followed the same route as the current EO39. Since 18 April 2016, it is possible to travel between Tripoli and Sparta by motorway instead of using the EO39, but the tolled route is less direct because it requires using the A7 motorway from Tripoli to Megalopolis, then the A71 motorway from there to Sparta. ==References==
