The president of Athens Attiko Metro Yannis Mylopoulos estimated that the first metro line in Thessaloniki will be operational by 2020 and that the whole project will be finished by 2026.
He was confident that these deadlines can be met, provided that the main lines are included in the “Juncker” investment package. This, he explained, is necessary in order to ensure that the necessary funding to complete the project will be secured.
Moreover, the Attiko Metro chief also stressed that the Thessaloniki project was temporarily halted due to ‘problems of the past’ being resolved and thanked the District governor of Central Macedonia Apostolos Tzitzikostas for his support.
On his part, Tzitzikostas commented that all entities need to meet their commitments and stressed the importance of constant financing.
