The auction budget of the project amounts to 391 million euros (excluding VAT) and the contractor will undertake the design and construction of the railway connection of the city and the port of Lavrio with the existing suburban railway line from the Railway Station of Koropi with a total length of about 32 km.
The new railway line will be double in its longest length, electrically operated and equipped with modern two-way signaling systems with remote control and ETCS level 1.
In the construction of the New Suburban Railway from Koropi to the port of Lavrio, two stations are foreseen, one in Markopoulo and the Terminal in Lavrio, as well as seven railway stops in the locations / settlements Kalivia industrial park, Kalivia, Kouvara, Keratea, Daskalio, Kalopigado and Lavrio (city service). In any case, the final location of the stops will be assigned during the competitive dialogue process, taking into account the needs of the transport network.
Parking is provided at all train stations and stops, in order to serve wider residential development zones that can be accessed by car or other local means of public transport.
With the implementation of the Koropi – Lavrio railway line, a basic goal for the development of a suburban railway in Attica is completed.

In addition, the completion of the extension of the Suburban Railway to Lavrio, will offer the port of Lavrio high level access by means of fixed orbital public transport and connection with the Airport “El. Venizelos “, actively supporting and enhancing tourism.
