25mln Euros Worth Of Archaeological Excavations At Thessaloniki Metro

Greece’s Audit Court issued an expert opinion at the weekend which now allows the disbursement of 25 million euros for the continuation of the archaeological excavations at the building site of the metro in the northern city of Thessaloniki, opening the way for the completion of the biggest transportation project in the city’s history.

Attiko Metro, the company in charge of the project, announced that when it receives this amount it is going to sign a supplementary agreement with the consortium to allow the continuation of the excavations along the worksites.

The disbursement of the 25 million euros had initially been approved in September by the Unified Public Procurement Authority. Following the positive opinion of the Audit Court, the last requirement is a typical ratification by the Greek Parliament.
