Ionian and Olympia Motorways to complete the last piece of toll stations’ “puzzle”

With the operation of the new toll stations in Eleonas and Rio, both on Olympia Motorway, the last piece of the projects’ puzzle is now considered complete on 4 out of 5 motorways. An announcement of Olympia Odos, made known that from Wednesday midnight to Thursday, September 14^th, toll stations will go operational and the routes will be now measured in “euro-kilometres”.

Slightly earlier, an announcement was also published by Ionian Motorway regarding the operation of the last toll stations in Amfilochia-Egnatia Motorway section.

The journey from Athens to the capital of Western Greece region, Patras will now last about 2 hours and cost 11.50 euros, while the one to Ioannina, 3 hours and 40 minutes, costing 37.25 euros.

Now the only covered motorway that does not charge tolls per kilometer yet is the state-operated, Egnatia Motorway, which is also obliged to introduce a certain number of toll stations and will inevitably do so by 2018.
