MOTORWAYS

Central Greece Motorway ( E - 65)

Kentriki Odos has undertaken planning, construction, exploitation, operation, and maintenance of the ‘Aftokinitodromos Kentrikis Ellados – E65’ Concession project.

This 238.5 km project is of strategic importance for Greece’s growth and concerns the management and maintenance of the section of the ATHE motorway from Skarfia to Raches-Fthiotida (total length of 57 km), as well as the construction of Aftokinitodromos Kentrikis Ellados (E65 – Central Greece Motorway), which starts from the semi-I/C by the same name on the A.Th.E.Add a new co motorway at the Thermopyles I/C, and reaches Egnatia Odos at the I/C 15 km west of Grevena. (total length 181.5 km).

The section of the motorway from Skarfia to Raches went into operation in 2015 and solved the major issue of road safety on the ‘Horseshoe of Maliakos’. Drivers can now use a modern, high specification motorway with 2 traffic lanes per direction, plus the Emergency Lane, three (3) twin-branch tunnels, five (5) viaducts, and high-spec infrastructure.

Aftokinitodromos Kentrikis Ellados (E65) is being constructed on a completely new layout design and essentially connects Eastern and Western Greece. Its design is based on modern national and European standards, respectful of the natural and human-made environment, aiming at driver safety and comfort, and saving as much time and fuel as possible. Indicatively, upon its completion, the journey from Lamia to Egnatia will take 1 hour and 30 minutes, instead of the current 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Currently, a 136-km section of E65 is operational, between the A.Th.E. highway I/C (206.5 km) and Kalampaka I/C, through which the journey Athens – Karditsa takes 2 hours and 35 minutes, while Athens – Trikala, less than 3 hours. Additionally, important tourist destinations such as Meteora and Lake Plastiras are accessible quickly, easily, and safely.

At the same time, the construction of the remaining northern section of the highway from Kalampaka I/C to Egnatia Odos I/C, approximately 15 km west of Grevena, is in full swing.
