The section of the provincial network Epidaurus – Kallonis, which was destroyed by the bad weather “Daniel” last September, will be delivered to the drivers on Wednesday, May 1st, as stated by the Regional Governor of Attica, Nikos Hardalias, during an autopsy he carried out in area.
“At the first Special Accountability Session at the beginning of March, I had expressly committed that everything technically possible would be done so that the road could be opened to traffic with absolute safety for the residents and visitors of the area before Easter,” he said in his statements Mr. Hardalias added: “I am happy, because this commitment also came true. We said it, we did it. We are talking about projects, which are implemented, which are completed.
We are moving forward. We are breaking new ground. We take advantage of the potential that our country has. Obviously, we have other issues to solve in the wider region, as our goal is – each time – to be one step ahead and to have taken, in advance, all the necessary measures, so that we do not become spectators in the same situation again. I want to thank everyone who contributed to the project. The technical services of the Region, the contractor and the municipal authorities, who cooperated fully, so that we remain faithful to our commitments and – most importantly – so that the suffering of the citizen stops.
Everything we undertake, we are able to implement. This is a doctrine of the new regional authority, which will accompany us in the coming years. We are present in every neighborhood to be able to produce work. And that’s what we will continue to do.”
It is recalled that the Regional Governor of Attica had carried out an autopsy on the specific point on January 7, a few days after assuming his duties, announcing the taking of immediate initiatives to solve the problem, after the unjustified delays – as he had characteristically noted – of about four months.
By order of the Regional Governor, the next day the Technical Deed was submitted for the inclusion of the restoration project in the TPA of the Ministry of the Interior, while all the necessary procedures for the announcement of the tender, the appointment of the contractor, the signing of the relevant contract and the delivery of the project were terminated in the minimum prescribed period.
For his part, the Mayor of Troizinia – Methanon, Tasos Mougios, said: “Today we are very happy – expressing all our fellow citizens – that the road will finally be safely handed over to traffic. Just as happy will be our guests who wish to come and visit us on the Holy Days of Easter. We thank Mr. Hardalia again, who from the first moment has shown his excellent intentions for our country and we hope for further cooperation”.
The Mayor of Poros, Giorgos Koutouzis, said: “Today is a happy day for the communities of Poros, Troizinia and Methana. Mr. Hardalias, true to his commitments, announced that next Wednesday, a few days before Easter, the way will be given to our societies, for tourism and the needs of our country to function. We want to publicly thank Mr. District Governor for the precision and the actions taken. May everyone be well, let’s have happy holidays.”
