The Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport spoke about the need to strengthen tracked vehicles in order to overcome the transport problem George Karagiannisemphasizing that “we do this by expanding it Underground in Piraeus, the extension of line 2 to Ilion and the construction of a new line 4, as well as the extension of the suburban railway in Western Attica, Rafina and Lavrion.”

Speaking this morning on Parapolitika 90.1 radio, Mr. Karagiannis said that the delivery of the metro to Piraeus is a matter of a few days. It is noted that during the meeting K.O. North Dakota Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said three “line 3” metro stations in Piraeus will open on Monday.

New Suburban stop financed by a group of companies

Mr. Karagiannis also noted that “we are working differently to bring regions and people closer together. We are accepting, for example, a donation from a group of companies that want to fund the research and construction of a commuter stop in the Carella area.”

The project provides for the connection of the settlements of Paania, Karella, Spata, as well as the industrial areas of the area with the Metropolitan Complex of Athens and wider Attica, enhancing the prospect of their further development and, therefore, jobs.

The Deputy Minister of Infrastructure also highlighted the existing commitment to “deliver the metro to Thessaloniki by the end of 2023”, while noting that “we are not opening a tarp, but a metro that works”.

“Railway projects are moving forward with fast and confident steps”

Regarding the railway, he said it was “a green, environmentally friendly facility with guaranteed funding from European funds”, adding that “the railway has been a big patient for many years. We have now put up for auction projects worth 4.5 billion euros.”

“Now we are doing what we should have done many years ago, connecting ports with the railway,” he emphasized and explained that “in this way we are turning the country into a huge logistics center, from where goods will be transported to Europe.” “.

He assured that “this very important work is progressing with strong and fast steps in accordance with the set goal”, adding that “with the reorganization of OSE and ERGOSE, which was voted for by Parliament, the salary of employees is also increased, as a performance bonus is provided.” .
