The most extensive front of Metro Projects ever performed in Greece is currently progressing at an intensive pace. All ATTIKO METRO employees make a co-ordinated effort on a daily basis in view of delivering in due time the modern Metro stations in several areas of Athens, such as Peristeri, Anthoupoli, Haidari, Aghia Paraskevi, Ilioupoli, Alimos, Argyroupoli and Elliniko.

The Metro Line 3 Extension, 4.3 km long with three (3) new stations extending from MONASTIRAKI to EGALEO was commissioned in May 2007. The Metro network continues to be expanded with the construction of new Stations, while the next 1.5 kilometres of Line 3 towards HAIDARI with one new Station is already at an advanced construction phase. In particular, civil works both at the tunnel and at the station were completed, while architectural works are in progress. At the same time E/M equipment is being installed along the entire length of the extension. It is noted that this contracting work also includes the construction of a parking facility for private vehicles right next to this Station with an overall capacity of 380 places.

Concurrently, after the successful completion and operation of AGHIOS ANTONIOS Station in summer 2004, and two more new Metro Stations will be constructed in the Municipality of Peristeri, one of the largest Municipalities in Greece. In particular, works in PERISTERI & ANTHOUPOLI Stations are at the stage of architectural finishing, while this contracting work also includes the unification/reconfiguration of Peristeri Central Square, which shall cover an area of 10,000 square meters in total. At the same time, the works for the boring of the remaining 350m of tunnel and the completion of the entire extension of this Line (1.5 km) have been completed in summer 2008. Very recently, the installation of tracks and E/M equipment commenced.

The project of the Extension of Line 2 to ELLINIKO will add to the ATHENS METRO network 5.5 km of Underground Line and 4 new Stations (ILIOUPOLI, ALIMOS, ARGYROUPOLI, ELLINIKO). Construction works are currently executed in 14 worksite areas (Stations, ventilation shafts, underground stabling area) along Vouliagmenis Avenue, without affecting the traffic of vehicles while keeping intact the green area in the central island along Vouliagmenis Avenue. The Tunnel Boring Machine, which initiated its tunneling activities from Sourmena Shaft, has completed the boring of 5,295 meters of tunnel in December 2008 and it has now been removed from the project. Very recently, the installation of E/M equipment commenced.

The construction works executed in AGHIA PARASKEVI are currently in full swing. NOMISMATOKOPIO Station was delivered to public in the 2nd of September, while HOLARGOS Station has been operating since 23 of July 2010. In the framework of the same contracting work a Bus Transfer Station is constructed in the area of NOMISMATOKOPIO station which is the first Metro Station on Messogion Avenue that travelers from Agia Paraskevi, Messogia region and the eastern suburbs of Attica region meet. An underground Parking Facility for private vehicles of a capacity of 630 places, is also given to public.
