An on-site inspection was conducted at the construction site of the Northern Section of the E65 Central Greece Motorway, was conducted by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Christos Dimas.
Mr. Dimas traveled the entire 46-kilometer stretch of the section under construction, from the Kalambaka interchange to the Grevena interchange on the Egnatia Highway and was briefed on the progress of the work.
Following the site visit, Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Christos Dimas stated: “The project is nearly complete, with only a few minor but important details remaining. We estimate that by the end of July, we will be able to deliver this new, major national infrastructure to the public. This is a project with high technical requirements due to the mountainous terrain of the region, and bridges, tunnels, and grade-separated interchanges have been built to ensure direct access to the highway in the Trikala and Grevena regions. The E65 Highway is a modern transportation corridor that will provide a major boost to mainland Greece, as it will directly connect the PATHE with the Egnatia Highway, Central Greece and Thessaly with Western Macedonia and Epirus, safely and comfortably.”
This specific Northern Section is the only part remaining to complete the E65 Highway, as the rest of the route from Lamia to Kalambaka has already been built and is operational.
The Northern Section—currently under construction—is funded by the Recovery and Resilience Facility with 452 million euros and is expected to be completed within the programming period.
