The financial committee of the Municipality of Athens approved today, Thursday, the start of the tender process for the road construction projects and the construction of rainwater and drainage networks in the area of ​​Eleonas, taking yet another big step in the implementation of the flagship project of Double Regeneration.

The project will implement 7.87 km of reconstruction and new road openings, 6.4 km of rainwater networks, 5.1 km of sewer networks, 4.2 km of busway, 4.2 km of cycle path, while 163 new trees will be planted on islands and sidewalks.

The project, with a budget of 37,450,495.00 euros, frames the construction project of the Panathinaikos stadium and will lead to the modernization of the infrastructure of the degraded former industrial area and, by extension, to its aesthetic as well as functional upgrade.

It is recalled that the first project concerned the creation of common green spaces in the Double Redevelopment and Botanic area and has already been announced. The new project complements the first and concerns road construction projects and the construction of rainwater drainage and drainage networks, mainly the roads surrounding the green areas.

The approval of the tender documents and conditions by the Financial Committee was made immediately after receiving the approval on 12-19-23 from the Recovery and Resilience Fund.

“The great work of Double Regeneration is progressing. Today, another piece was completed in the puzzle of this complex and multifaceted project, which will breathe life into our city. We gave the starting signal for a series of infrastructure projects that will radically change the facts for Athens. In a few years from now, citizens will enjoy a new green lung in the heart of the capital and a new, properly urbanized neighborhood in Botanikos. A new city within the city, with new infrastructure, safe roads, modern networks, electricity and greenery. Our commitments have been kept and words are becoming actions.” said the Mayor of Athens Kostas Bakoyannis.

It is pointed out that the Double Redevelopment and the shaping of the green spaces in Eleonas is a project of fundamental importance for the city with supra-local importance, which reintegrates nature into the urban fabric of Athens. This is achieved by creating the largest urban park of 215 acres that has been created in Athens in the last hundred years or so. The new large urban lung in combination with the planned infrastructure upgrade, they make up the holistic regeneration of the Eleonas area and create an authentic landscape, resistant to the effects of the climate crisis.
