The A71 motorway, also known as the Lefktro–Sparti branch (Greek: Κλάδος Λεύκτρο–Σπάρτη), is a branch of the A7 motorway from Lefktro near Megalopoli, connecting it with Sparti. The motorway was opened on April 18, 2016. It is a toll road.

Operation and maintenance

Moreas S.A. (Greek: Μορέας Α.Ε) is responsible for the operation and maintenance of both the A7 and A71 motorways, which are sometimes known collectively as the Moreas Motorway (Αυτοκινητόδρομος Μωρέας). The company was founded in Nestani on 22 December 2006, and is a consortium of the Aktor Group (formerly Intrakat) as the majority shareholder (85%) and the Avax Group as the minority (15%): Ellaktor used to own 71.67% of the company, until it sold Aktor Concessions to the Aktor Group in September 2025.

Moreas S.A. operates the A7 and A71 under a 30-year public–private partnership agreement with the Greek government, from 3 March 2008 to 3 March 2038.
