A massive new highway project is in the works for Athens, promising to ease the city's notorious traffic congestion and boost the economy.

The proposed "Great Bypass of Attica" is a 40-kilometer highway designed to divert heavy traffic away from the city center, creating a smoother flow for

commuters and businesses.

The bypass will connect major highways north and west of Athens, creating a more efficient route for trucks and other vehicles traveling through the region.

This will significantly reduce traffic on Kifisos Avenue, one of Athens' most congested roads, improving travel times and quality of life for residents.

Beyond easing traffic, the bypass will also bring economic benefits. It will improve access to industrial zones and logistics centers, making it easier for businesses to transport goods and boosting economic activity.

The project is estimated to cost €500 million and is expected to attract private investment.

Deputy Infrastructure Minister Nikos Tachiaos highlighted the project's importance and said it is likely to move forward soon.

The bypass is part of a larger effort to modernize Greece's transportation network, including projects in Thessaloniki and other areas, to improve connectivity and strengthen the national economy.

As Athens continues to grapple with traffic challenges, the Great Bypass of Attica represents a significant step towards a more efficient and livable city.

It promises to improve the daily commute for residents, enhance economic activity, and modernize Greece's infrastructure for the future.
