Abstract:

Attica Tollway is a successful project and has exceeded forecast expectations of demand. Attica Tollway has been designated by the European Union to be part of the Trans European Network, extending along 65 km, enabling quicker access to areas which, until recently, were either unapproachable or required a great amount of travel time. A road axis connecting the 30 municipalities of the Attica basin and meeting the transportation needs of millions of people, on an annual basis. But the development of Attica Tollway faced significant difficulties mainly because of the pioneer character of the project but also due to the complexity of a project needed to be developed in a highly densed urban area.
