Following the signing of the contract for the provision of services for the financing, operation, maintenance and exploitation of the Attica Road, on September 12, 2024, the ministries of National Economy and Finance and Infrastructure and Transport, in a joint press release, announced that the delivery from Hellenic Public Opening of the Attica Highway to the new concessionaire (New Attiki Odos S.A.) will take place on Sunday, October 6, 2024.

As underlined in the announcement, in this context, by then the procedures for the transition of the road axis to the new concession regime will have been completed, i.e., among other things, the ratification of the concession contract by the Parliament and the financial closure of the transaction with the one-time payment of the price.

To this end, the competent departments of the existing and the new concessionaire are already, recently, in direct cooperation for the smooth completion of the process, under the directions of the Hellenic State – TAIPED.

Finally, it is noted, in the announcement, that with the collection of the price of 3.27 billion euros, which is the highest that has been achieved in a tender process of TAIPED, the public debt of the country is reduced by the same amount, almost by 1.5 percentage point of GDP.
