One of the largest road projects in Northern Greece, which concerns the vertical axis Drama-Kavala, is progressing.

In particular, the tender for the upgrade of the Krinides-Stavros section, 8.2 kilometers long, was recently completed.

This section is connected to the existing national road “Drama – Kavala” west of the settlement of Krinides, and runs south-southeast ending on the old national road of Eleftheroupoli – Kavala west of the settlement of Stavros. The contracting authority is Egnatia Odos S.A.

The cost of the project has been estimated at 60.76 million euros including VAT (49 million without VAT). The Board of Directors of Egnatia Odos SA approved the first minutes, according to which the INTERKAT-TEKAL scheme prevailed with a discount rate of 14%.

The goal is for the tender to proceed and for the signatures to fall by the end of the year.

The Vertical Axis “Serres – Drama – Kavala” is part of the Greek Trans-European Road Network (Trans-European Axis 22 – Road network under design, Extended) and connects the Vertical Axis “Thessaloniki – Serres – Promahona” with Serres, Drama and Kavala and wider with the Port of Kavala, ending at the uneven junction Ag. Sylla on Egnatia Odos.

The road section from Drama to Kavala is a new four-lane expressway for its longest length, which bypasses the settlements of Choristi, Agios Athanasios, Lydia, Krinides, Polystylo, Amygdaleonas and ends at A/K Ag. Sylla of Egnatia street.
