The benefits from the creation of the Transport and Logistics Center in Fyli for the supply chain, but also in the decongestion of the Votanikos area and the traffic on Kifissos Avenue, were presented to the Municipality of Fyli by the Minister of Development and Investments Adonis Georgiadis, the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, responsible for Transport, Michalis Papadopoulos and the President of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund-HRADF Athanasios Zeliaskopoulos.
The relevant contract was signed between the Mayor of Fyli Christos Pappous and the mandated advisor of HRADF Panagiotis Stampoulidis, in the presence of MPs and Municipal Councilors.
Direct connection to Iconion and Thriasio
During his address, the Deputy Minister of Transport Michalis Papadopoulos, noted the importance of the infrastructure is being created that will contribute to the further development of freight transport, as the new Center in Fyli will be directly connected, via the railway, to the Iconio and Thriasio industrial areas.
Mr. Papadopoulos noted that the HRADF will utilize resources from the Recovery Fund for the configuration of the space that will welcome the transport companies currently active in Votanikos and the connections to the road and railway axes will be built.
Timetable
Based on the schedule, in 2024 the tender for the concession of the project will be held with the aim of completing the relocation at the end of 2025.
The total investments are expected to exceed 500 million euros and the economic activity will top 1 billion euros, with significant benefits for employment and the Fyli municipality, and, more broadly, Western Attica.
Mr. Papadopoulos also emphasized the importance of the project for the relief of traffic congestion in Kifissos and in the center of Athens, where today approximately 4,000 trucks transport goods, and in addition, the prospects for urban renewal of the Votanikos area, where most of the specific activity is currently centered.
