“The Kifisos bypass project is the biggest issue in Athens, and will be one of the first projects where the innovative proposal system will be applied,” stated Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis during his interview.
Hatzidakis: Kifisos bypass among first innovative proposal projects
Speaking on Wednesday morning (10/6) on SKAI radio, he explained that the innovative proposal system provides “the ability for a company to propose a project followed by a tender, in which both the proposing company and competing firms can participate. If the company that made the proposal fails to win the project, it can receive compensation for its proposal.”
Kostis Hatzidakis emphasized that the Kifisos bypass will not be completed in one month, but will begin soon. Additionally, he noted that authorities are examining the decongestion of the southern axis and the connection of Katehaki-Karea via tunnel under Mount Hymettus toward Vouliagmeni.
On non-recyclable waste incineration
The Deputy Prime Minister addressed the issue of non-recyclable waste incineration, estimating that developments will occur by July. As he added, the goal is energy recovery for the entire country. In conclusion, Kostis Hatzidakis emphasized that private sector companies will purchase waste and utilize it for electricity generation, as is done in many European countries.
