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-typeof 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
