DOMIKI KRITIS to Co-Deliver Strategic Skaramangas Interchange
[2m 11s read]
The Greek government has signed the construction contract for the Triple Skaramangas Interchange, a major infrastructure project set to reshape mobility across Western Attica and strengthen one of the country’s most critical freight corridors. The €70 million project was awarded to the consortium METKA ATE – DOMIKI KRITIS S.A., marking a significant milestone for the Greek engineering sector and underscoring the growing role of DOMIKI KRITIS in high complexity national infrastructure.
The agreement was signed in Athens in the presence of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport emphasizing that the project resolves a long standing gap in the region’s road network. Once completed, the new axis will connect the Port of Piraeus with the Athens–Corinth National Road and the Attiki Odos ring road, offering a reliable alternative to the heavily congested Kifisos Avenue — a corridor that currently handles approximately 130,000 vehicles per day, including nearly 20,000 heavy trucks.
Government officials highlighted the project’s strategic importance for both daily mobility and national logistics. The completion of the final 1.5 kilometer segment of the Western Peripheral Aigaleo Avenue, combined with the construction and upgrading of three major interchanges, is expected to significantly reduce travel times, improve road safety, and enhance freight flows between Piraeus, Western Attica, and Greece’s national highway network.
For DOMIKI KRITIS, participation in the consortium represents a notable step forward in its national footprint. The company, long recognized for its technical capability in demanding civil engineering works, enters a project that requires advanced structural design, complex traffic management during construction, and the delivery of new bridges, upgraded interchanges, and extensive flood protection infrastructure. The presence of DOMIKI KRITIS at the signing ceremony — represented by Chairman Dimitrios Koutras — signals the company’s commitment to delivering high performance infrastructure aligned with international engineering standards.
Executives from METLEN and METKA ATE stressed the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors. Evangelos Mytilineos, Executive Chairman of METLEN, noted that “when the State and businesses operate complementarily, the result is infrastructure with real developmental impact.” METKA ATE CEO Dinos Benroubi added that the consortium is fully committed to delivering the project within contractual timelines and with uncompromising adherence to safety protocols — a critical requirement given the project’s location within one of Greece’s busiest transport nodes.
The technical scope of the project is extensive. It includes a new 160 meter bridge over the Athens–Corinth highway, a 135 meter bridge serving traffic from Athens toward Schisto, the reconstruction of the existing 130 meter bridge to enable free flow movement toward Corinth, and the upgrade of the national highway to four lanes per direction at the critical junction. Additional works include the construction of the Shipyards Interchange on Schisto Avenue and the Aspropyrgos Semi Interchange, improving access to industrial zones and refineries. A comprehensive stormwater management system will channel runoff from the Aigaleo slopes toward the coast, enhancing the resilience of the wider area.
Regional authorities described the project as a “first priority intervention” for Attica, noting that improved connectivity between Piraeus, Western Attica, and the Thriasio logistics hub will generate long term economic benefits. The new infrastructure is expected to support Greece’s supply chain competitiveness, reduce bottlenecks, and improve daily mobility for more than 130,000 citizens who traverse the area.
With construction scheduled over a three year horizon, the Triple Skaramangas Interchange stands as one of Greece’s most significant current road investments. For DOMIKI KRITIS, its participation in the consortium reinforces the company’s position as a trusted partner in national infrastructure delivery — and highlights the expanding role of Greek engineering firms in shaping the country’s next generation of strategic transport networks.
