Greece’s relevant transport minister said a new 25-year concession agreement for the Attiki Odos tollway – the arc-shaped ring road running across the breadth of northern Athens – leave mandate a toll of 2.5 euros, down from the current 2.80 euros.

Interested consortia will have to submit binding financial offers within the coming months.
