Construction

Nea Odos’s construction works aside from a long-standing demand for the development of the broader region of Western Greece, constitutes a major challenge since it is an entirely new-type of motorway in an environment with particular geological conditions, rugged terrain and major geotechnical challenges.

IONIA ODOS, the motorway connecting the entire Western Greece, includes:

• 196 km of a new, modern and high-standards motorway
• 4 bidirectional tunnels of a total length of 11,2 km
• 24 bridges of a total length of 7 km
• 77 underpasses and 24 overpasses
• 392 culverts of various dimensions and types
• 5 Motorist Service Stations (MSS)
• 3 Operation and Maintenance Centers
• 4 Frontal and 5 Lateral Toll Stations

In order for the A.TH.E. section and the Connecting Branch of Schimatari – Chalkida to be a safe and modern motorway, of high standards, Nea Odos has already proceeded to the following new constructions and upgrade works:

• 350 km, single carriageway, of new asphalt
• 340 km of safety fencing
• 6,4 km of new motorway in the area of Yliki
• 14 km of two-way widening of the old National Road in Ritsona – Thiva section
• 2600 new signs
• 21.360 square meters of noise barriers
