The A7 motorway, also known as the Corinth–Tripoli–Kalamata Motorway (Greek: Αυτοκινητόδρομος Κόρινθος–Τρίπολη–Καλαμάτα),[1] or the Central Peloponnese motorway (Greek: Αυτοκινητόδρομος Κεντρικής Πελοποννήσου),[2][3] is a controlled-access highway in the Peloponnese, Greece. The A7 begins just west of the Isthmus of Corinth, branching off from Greek National Road 8A (which is now integrated into the Olympia Odos). It connects Corinth and Kalamata via Tripoli.

As part of the concession agreement between the Greek state and the consortium operating the motorway (Moreas S.A.), the latter is responsible for constructing, operating, maintaining and modernizing the A7. In existing sections of the motorway, improvements include the straightening of dangerous curves, constructing new tunnels, completing the Artemision tunnel, adding more light fixtures and upgrading the median throughout.[1]
