The road connection between Egnatia Odos motorway and the area of Tzoumerka

In this report, it is tried to approach the case of the road connection between the Egnatia Odos motorway and the mountainous area of Tzoumerka. Firstly, the necessity for the construction of this road connection is explored, as far as its general importance for the wider region of Tzoumerka. Then, the existing condition of the road network of the region is indicated and the problems that locally occur are detected. Furthermore, an estimation of the environmental impacts of the project, regarding to its construction and its operation is projected. Finally, the cost of the realization of this road connection is presented and a comparison with other costs, like those of the vertical axes of Egnatia Odos and the maintenance of the existing road network, is attempted.
