  • LINE 2 EXTENSION to ELLINIKO – Arrival of the Tunnel Boring Machine at ALIMOS Station

Quietly and without any disturbance to the operation of the city, the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) arrived at ALIMOS Station, thus having bored a total of 3,400m at AGHIOS DIMITRIOS-ELLINIKO Metro extension (5,5 km long). After a short-day maintenance, the tunnel boring machine, which has set off its route from Sourmena Shaft in the direction of AGHIOS DIMITRIOS Station, will continue its route to the forth Station of the extension at the Municipality of Ilioupoli (see relevant sketch). Today, over 700 workers of various specialties work on a daily basis at 14 worksite areas for the Metro extension to be commissioned at the end of 2009.
