The A62 motorway in Greece (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Αυτοκινητόδρομος 62), often referred to as the Hymettus Ring Road (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Περιφερειακός Υμηττού) and formerly signed as the A64 motorway until 2024, is a branch of the A6 motorway in the Attiki Odos motorway network. It is named after the Hymettus mountain range, which it partly encircles.
The motorway serves parts of eastern Athens, and planning is underway to extend it to the southern suburbs with a tunnel following Mount Hymettus to Elliniko, and it would ebd at Vouliagmenis Avenue. Another extension from the north-east end will extend further eastwards to the port of Rafina.[1]
On 4 December 2015, the Greek government proposed to renumber the A64 as the A62: In practice, the renumbering had not taken place until 2024, because road signs still used to show the motorway as the A64. As of July 2024, the renumbering is being implemented as a result of road sign replacement.
