NSRF & EIB To Fund Athens Metro Expansion of Line 4

Greece's Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has secured approximately 900 million euros in funding from the European Investment Bank and the Partnership Agreement (the new “NSRF”) in order to expand the metro and suburban railway in Athens.

Reports in Athens claim that these funds are going to be used to construct line 4 of the Metro, which is expected to start at the Veikou park in Galatsi and then terminate at the Evangelismos hospital.

The Ministry also secured funds in order to expand the suburban rail network from Koropi towards the port city of Lavrio.
