The HRDH, a member company of the Superfund (EESYP), is starting the tender process for the new concession of one of the most important road infrastructures of the country, Attiki Odos.

As mentioned in a relevant announcement, the HRDH announced today an international tender for the concession of services related to the financing, operation, maintenance and operation of Attiki Odos for 25 years.

The aim of the competition is to find the scheme that will undertake the operation, maintenance and management of the highway starting from the end of 2014, when the current concession ends.

Today, the shareholders of Attiki Odos SA that has the concession are AKTOR CONCESSIONS SA. (ELLAKTOR) with a percentage of 65.75%, AVAX SA which holds a percentage of 24.19%, ETETH SA (belonging to the AVAX SA Group) with a percentage of 10.02% and the French EGIS PROJECTS SA with 0.04%.

It is noted that the tender concerns the highway as it is today, without expansion projects.

Attiki Odos is a modern highway about 70 km long, built in the 1990s with the method of concession. It is the ring road of the wider metropolitan area of ​​Athens and part of the backbone of the road network of the Prefecture of Attica. It is a suburban road network and highway, with two or three lanes of traffic and one lane of emergency (LEA), in each direction. In some sections in the middle of the highway, in a specially designed area, the suburban railway operates, which is not part of the concession contract of Attiki Odos.

Furthermore, the Attiki Odos highway is the connecting link of the PATHE road axis (Patra – Athens – Thessaloniki – Evzoni), since it connects the Athens – Lamia National Road with the Athens – Corinth National Road, bypassing the center of Athens. The highway has controlled accesses and consists of two vertical, intersecting sections, the Free Avenue Elefsina – Stavros – Spata, approximately 52 km long, and the Western Peripheral Avenue Ymittou, approximately 13 km. of the Western Peripheral Avenue Egaleo, approximately 5 km long.
