Aktor, a subsidiary of Intrakat Group, has signed a €10.4 million contract with Hellenic Metro for the creation of a modern transport hub in the area of Nea Εlvetia station, which will act as a "gateway" and facilitate the movement of residents of the suburban areas to and from the Thessaloniki Metro terminal of the same name.

The contract was signed today, Wednesday, at the Metro depot in Pylaia by the Chairman of the Board and CEO of Aktor, Mr. Alexandros Exarchou, and the Vice Chairman of the Board and CEO of Hellenic Metro, Mr. Nikolaos Kouretas. 

In the framework of the project, Aktor will proceed with the construction of a transport hub in Nea Svizzia, with all the necessary facilities for the service of the passenger public, such as a bus transfer station, a transfer area for taxis and private vehicles, etc. 

The contract also provides for the widening of Michael Psellou Street, with two lanes of traffic in each direction and a cycle path, to make the New Switzerland Transfer Station accessible to pedestrians and vehicles, as well as the creation of accompanying works that will allow the area around the station to be redeveloped. 

Furthermore, the scope of the project includes the reconfiguration of the main level junctions connecting Michael Psellou Street with the National Road of Thessaloniki (N. Moudania) and Papanastasiou Street, as well as the nearby connecting branches, while technical works such as storm water and drainage, signage and safety works, electric lighting and traffic lights, architectural works at the transfer station, greenery works, etc. will be carried out.
