The project represents a critical intervention for upgrading Western Attica's road infrastructure, substantially improving connectivity between the Port of Piraeus, the Thriasio Plain and the national road network, enhancing road safety and helping to ease congestion on key traffic corridors in the capital. At the same time, it is expected to significantly strengthen supply chain operations and the movement of goods to and from the Port of Piraeus.
The scope of the contract includes, among other works, the completion of the Western Aigaleo Ring Road, the construction of new grade-separated interchanges and bridges, the upgrading of existing road sections, as well as a series of associated technical and environmental works. The total project budget amounts to €60.5 million, while the contractual construction period is 36 months.
Detailed information on the project's technical scope, together with information on the signing ceremony, is available in the relevant press release issued by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, available here.
Drawing on deep technical expertise, extensive construction capabilities and a proven track record in the effective delivery of complex projects, METKA continues to make a substantial contribution to the modernisation of Greece's infrastructure and the development of projects that deliver long-term economic value.
Evangelos Mytilineos, Executive Chairman of METLEN, said: "The role of the State is to create the right conditions. The role of businesses is to respond with expertise, reliability and responsibility. When these two sides work in a complementary manner, the result is projects that leave a genuine development legacy. For METKA, our participation in this project is both an honour and a great responsibility. We are committed to delivering a project of the highest quality, with absolute dedication to safety, programme delivery and the demanding standards associated with a project of such significance."
Dinos Benroubi, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of METKA S.A., commented: "METKA has already demonstrated its ability to successfully deliver complex road projects while traffic remains in operation, as is the case with this project. Together with our joint venture partner, whose credentials speak for themselves, we are committed to completing this project within the contractual deadlines and in full compliance with the highest engineering and construction standards. Above all, we will maintain an unwavering commitment to safety throughout every stage of the project. The Skaramagas Triple Interchange is a landmark infrastructure project for Attica."
The award of the contract further confirms METKA's growing presence in Greece's major infrastructure projects and reflects the confidence placed in the company to deliver highly demanding and technically complex engineering works.
