“We are opening roads. We are opening the road that was hindering the connection of Western Greece with the capital, we are opening the road to exit the crisis and supervision,” Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday said during the inauguration of Corinth-Patras motorway.
This is the strong symbolism of the inauguration, said the prime minister and noted that Tuesday is a day of joy for Western Greece and the message sent is that Greece can stand back on its feet.
The isolation of Patras, Western Greece, Epirus and the Ionian Islands finally comes to an end, Infrastructure and Transports Minister Christos Spirtzis said during the inauguration ceremony of the Corinth-Patras motorway.
The Athens-Patras trip will take 1h 40m after the completion of the work that will create the prospects for further development in the wider region.
