FCC to extend Athens Metro Line 2

FCC Construcción, in a joint venture with J&P AVAX, Greece's second-largest construction company, has been awarded the contract to extend Line 2 of Athens Metro.

The contract is worth 94,509,800 euro and construction will take 32.5 months. The line extension, in north-west Athens, is 1,380 metres long and will run from Agios Antonios to Anthoupoli, including the Peristeri and Anthoupoli stations, which will be built by the cut and cover method.

A 300-metre section of tunnel will be dug using the New Austrian Tunnelling Method and two ventilation shafts will be sunk and connected to the tunnel via a gallery.
