On February 20th 2006, the Contract was signed for further extending Line 3 by 1.5km and constructing one new Station in Haidari area and one depot in Eleonas area. Through this project, Line 3 of the Athens Metro is further extended to the western suburbs, thus reaching the areas of Haidari and to Aghia Varvara. 

It is a very important project, given that it will serve the needs of the citizens of the western suburbs of Athens. Upon commissioning of the said extension, it will only take 9 minutes to reach the city centre (SYNTAGMA), while it will be possible to reach directly ELEFTHERIOS VENIZELOS Airport comfortably and in a safe and reliable manner in 40 minutes!

In particular, it is anticipated that this extension will contribute to the upgrading of the areas, which, until the present time, have not been within easy reach of the city centre, such as the wider area of Egaleo, Haidari and Aghia Varvara. It will also serve specific destinations such as the Hospital for Infectious Diseases, the 'Dromokaitio' Hospital, the Attiko Hospital and the commercial area.

It is estimated that AGHIA MARINA Station will serve over 30,000 new passengers on a daily basis.

The project related to EGALEO - AGHIA MARINA extension includes:

	The tunnel of the line, approximately 1,5 km long, which is to pass beneath Iera Odos and will be bored by means of the conventional underground method.
	AGHIA MARINA Station, in the building plot delimited by Iera Odos, Krinis, Katsarou and Aghias Marinas Streets, with two entrances/exits on either side of Iera Odos
	The Transfer Station which is constructed concurrently in the area where AGHIA MARINA Station is to be situated, with parking facility of 380 spaces.
	The Depot in the area of Eleonas, with a total surface of 86,000 m2, a Project to be described in detail here below.
