Samaras tours Ionia Odos motorway
Prime Minister and New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras on Tuesday (12/01/2015) visited the third and last part of the Ionia Odos motorway that links the northwestern Greek cities of Arta with Ioannina within the framework of his tour in Epirus.
Samaras noted that "(the opening of the road) will be the end of the isolation and will bring major growth to the region" adding that "the project will continue".
Epirus deputy regional governor Vassilis Psathas said that Ionia Odos is a road of growth.
The map of Ionia Odos with the parts under construction was presented to Samaras. Nine interchanges, 8 bridges and a 900m tunnel are under construction, with deadline until December 2015.
