📋 Tender Overview
Most of the Patras - Pyrgos Motorway, 65 km long, from the 74.8 km of the total project, and in particular the section from Pyrgos to Alissos, near Patras, was delivered today at noon. The remaining 10 km until Midilogli will be completed and delivered to the traffic by the end of November, based on the timetable.
At the Pyrgos junction, Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Christos Dimas made the following statement:
The road was released and we are already seeing the first cars crossing it.
It is an important day for Western Greece, the Peloponnese, for the whole country, as we have a modern, safe, comfortable highway that will allow even better movements, both for residents here, but also for visitors to the area.
Even now, there are our fellow citizens who find it difficult to believe that the project is completed. This is because, in the last three years, the progress of work has not always been visible. By using the motorway, they will not only find that the road has become a reality, but also recognize its positive impact on their daily lives.
Infrastructure Secretary General Dimitris Anagnopoulos pointed out:
We are all happy, because the highway was now in operation. This road has been delayed for many years, but it is finally time to surrender to the citizens. I am proud that I have been persistently involved and from various positions all these years to get to today.
We delivered the entire 65 -kilometer Patras - Tower, thus achieving the substantial connection of Ilia and Western Greece with the National Highway Network. We wish all the passers -by being a good -natured.
