Ten years after the delivery of the last major extension of Line 2 of the Athens metro, which today connects Anthoupolis with Ellinikon, a new esxtension is on the way. Attiko Metro yesterday turned the hourglass of the tender for the extension to Ilion with approximately 4 km of new line and three new stations.

The contract for the northern part of the E65 highway will be signed tomorrow, as announced by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Mr. Costas Karamanlis, speaking to Parapolitika 90.1 FM. "A very big effort has been made in the last 23 months, we have worked intensively to unblock projects that we found "stuck".

The time for the public work project of the decade has arrived. The contract for the construction of the first phase of the new Line 4 of the Athens metro, which will connect the Veikou Grove in Galatsi with Goudi, will be signed tonight, in the presence of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is opening space for the first construction sites of Line 4 of the Athens metro. The gears that will set in motion the largest construction project in the country, with a budget of 1.8 billion euros, have begun to move. The subway is starting to wake up to get to work, starting in 2022, in the center of the capital after more than fifteen years.

Line 4 of the Athens metro, which will start in Alsos Veikou and run to Goudi in the center of Athens, can go ahead as injunctions against the project were rejected by the Council of State on Tuesday.

A community initiative launched in the Athens district of Kypseli several years ago to improve public transportation in one of the capital's most densely populated neighborhoods is bearing fruit after the company responsible for the Athens metro agreed to add a new station.

Attiko Metro SA, the company responsible for the Athens metro system, on Monday opened the bidding process for a new line connecting some of the Greek capital's most congested neighborhoods and suburbs.

The long-awaited tender for the construction of Line 4 of the Athens Metro is set to take place in early 2017, authorities said Monday.

The extension will link the densely populated suburbs of Galatsi, Kypseli, Kaisariani and Zografou to the other three lines of the metro network.

After a series of delays, the tender for the construction of Line 4 of the Athens metro is expected to be issued early next year.

The extension of the capital's metro network has been long anticipated by residents of the densely populated areas of Galatsi, Kypseli, Kaisariani and Zografou.
