Infrastructure Minister visits Cephalonia

Infrastructure, Transport and Networks Minister Mihalis Chrysohoidis visited the island of Cephalonia on Friday to assess the progress made in damage repairs caused by earthquakes.

"We're moving ahead with the construction of new works related to the road network in Paliki, the road network and pubic areas in Lixouri, which will be completed in a few months so that infrastructure on the island is better than before," Chrysochoidis said after a meeting with municipal officials.

The minister also said a joint ministerial decision will be published next week giving the "green light" for a tender on the reconstruction of social housing in Lixouri.

"It's a social issue which concerns people of a working class town like Lixouri."

Concerning the restoration of school buildings and ports, Chrysochoidis said plans for their reconstruction will soon be completed.
