On Thursday, the major meeting between the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund and GEK Terna is scheduled for the signing of the 25-year concession contract of the Attiki Odos. A contract that will bring to the State revenues of €3.27 billion.

€2.5 TOLLS

Speaking recently at the Thessaloniki International Exhibition Centre, the CEO of the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund, Dimitris Politis, stressed that all parties involved had rushed through the relevant procedures at high speed in order to pave the way for the signing of the contract that sees the financing, operation, maintenance, and exploitation of Attiki Odos passing to GEK Terna. It is recalled that from 8 October the toll for category 2 vehicles will be reduced to €2.50 from €2.80.

HANDOVER AS NORMAL

It is noted that the existing concession expires on 6 October and the aim is to ensure that there is no gap between the two concessions, with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport clarifying that in any case, upon expiry of the current contract, Attiki Odos will return to the State. The ministry has noted that the handover of the motorway to the state will normally take place with the expiry of the concession contract in early October. According to Μr. Politis, "on the date of the handover, the operation should not be disrupted for the consumer."
