Greece’s motorway network is now completed having transformed the transportation map of the country. Among the projects that have been implemented over the last decades, road tunnels stand out for their technical complexity and difficulty and the fact that they have been designed and carried out by local companies, thus adding new achievements and valuable know-how to the domestic constructions market.
