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.
