The Thessaloniki metro will be handed over to the people of Thessaloniki on November 30, 2024, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced during his speech at the presentation of Digital Platform erga.gov.gr.
"After many inaugurations, which were not really inaugurations, after several presentations and disputes, I am pleased to announce that the Thessaloniki Metro will be delivered - not inaugurated, but delivered - to the citizens on November 30, 2024," the prime minister said.
Also, for the Flyover road axis, he said that the goal is to be delivered in the spring of 2027, before the parliamentary elections.
"Thessaloniki is changing. It is changing at a very fast pace. No government has implemented more projects for Thessaloniki than this government. And this is something that, I believe, the citizens of Thessaloniki are beginning to realise", Mitsotakis pointed out during his speech.
"I completely understand the suspicion and hesitancy towards commitments, which the citizens of Thessaloniki have heard many times, but the reality has always been different. Here I think we have escaped from the practices of the past, we have proven that what we say we can implement within specific timetables", said the prime minister and added that the detailed information presented by the relevant ministers for the projects in Thessaloniki and Central Macedonia they prove the truth of the word.
