Along with the important infrastructure projects, in addition to the major project of the undergrounding of Poseidon Avenue, a useful project that is going to be materialized as part of the AVAX contract is also that of moving the Tram line.
More specifically, according to the approved design, the construction of a new Tram line is planned further north (that is, closer to Alimos) than the existing one. This line, like the existing one, will not be a commercial line, but a “service line”, i.e. a line that will serve the movement of Trams from/to Ellinikon Station.
Today, the coastal Tram line after the “2nd Agios Kosmas” stop towards Glyfada, creates a junction, passes through the Elliniko area and finally reaches the Train Station. According to the plan, there will be the construction of a new line, which will go to/from the Elliniko area from the “1st Agios Kosmas” stop.
After the completion of the construction of the new Tram line, which will be handed over for use by STASY, the existing one will be torn down, as the development of buildings is planned in the area. It is also planned at a later stage to extend this line near and parallel to Vouliagmenis Avenue where it will be connected to the “Argyroupoli” Metro station. As long as we reach this stage, the creation of bus stops within Hellinikon that will serve internal traffic in the area of the investment is planned.
We should note that the construction of the new line and the dismantling of the old one is exclusively funded by Lamda Development within the framework of the infrastructure development contract signed with AVAX.
In relation to the Tram, a contract by Attiko Metro for the expansion of the Depot with TERNA as a contractor is already underway. The project is considered of critical importance for adequate space for Tram trains. This is because after the supply of 25 new trains from Alstom, the fleet has grown significantly and the existing space is not sufficient.
