According to Mr. Karagiannis, "major infrastructure projects attract investments, generate many job vacancies, and they restore the relationship of trust between the State and the citizens".
Referring to the progress of the major infrastructure projects that are underway, many of which have been pending for years, Mr. Karagiannis noted that "the three stations of the extension of Line 3 to Piraeus will be delivered at the beginning of this fall".
Consequently, as the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure said, "a large part of the transportation service will be changed, while the project is expected to be delivered as scheduled despite the very difficult environment worldwide." With the operation of the three new stations "Maniatika", "Piraeus" and "Municipal Theatre", the distance from the largest port of the country to the largest airport will be covered in 50 minutes. Line 4 of the Metro, the largest public project currently under construction in the country, is also progressing rapidly.
