The European Commission approved, on June 1, the allocation of € 180.9 million to build a major trunk road to connect the Aktio area with the Western part of a North-South road axis in Greece.
This is part of the priority projects presented by the Commission last November in order to accelerate the return of growth in Greece, through structural funds.
The Aktio project totals 48.5 km, bypassing Lake Amvrakia. It foresees 7 multi-level junctions, 2 same-level junctions and some 40 technical works and is part of the Trans European Transport Network (TEN-T).
