A jovial Environment and Public Works Minister Giorgos Souflias yesterday presented the plan for the 230-kilometer highway from the Maliakos Gulf to Kleidi Imathias in Macedonia, whose construction will start by a concessionnaire consortium in November. The project has a budget of 1.15 billion euros, of which the government will put up only 173 million, but the toll charges will be the country’s highest, 5 euros for 100 kilometers. The concession is for 30 years. ‘The importance of the project is huge,’ said Souflias, particularly with regard to improving road safety and saving lives.
